This acrostic, SIMPLE PLEASURES, follows the vertical theme and suggests that we find the hidden joys that lay unseen and unappreciated all around.

Nice job with this acrostic. When we're forced by circumstance to live with less, more simply, we find that it's okay. We can take joy in small things we may have otherwise overlooked. Good luck in the contest. Marilyn

This nice, simple acrostic poem tells enjoying simple things is not easy enough, we do not know how to enjoy even simple and little matter at our pleasures by controlling our stand and levels of frustrations; well said, well done.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is a wonderful acrostic that read like a rhymer. I enjoyed the message it delivers, especially the mention of children as models; they are truly adaptive and inspirational in their way.

I'm glad I still had a six to award this, because anything less would've been an insult!

Good luck in the votes xoxoxo

Yes there's just a lot of chaos going on right now. People need to relax. We need to stick together not fight each other. This is such a serious situation. Good work and well written.

My favorite part was, "Everyone - just take a breath
Peace is still within our reach", because calmness of mind especially in a crisis is always the best option!

The Lord led me to this verse after I read this,

1 Thessalonians 5:15 New International Version (NIV)

15 Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.
