Written for Acrostic Only :)

When I wrote and shared it with Winnie(aka Meanie), she said I should also share the thought process and so here it is.  This poem is about the times when we have an opportunity knocking at the door and the action is yet to be taken, its about the evolutionary ideation and cerebration, that leads to the war-like preparation for the green go;  to attempt the opportunity and nail it.

It starts with talking about knowing our prized possesions, our strength and weaknesses and how we ready ourselves for the Pandora’s Lair, knowing not what and who’s gonna come out of it; lions or liars or leaders. We nest our feelings with our own reasons; nurture our objectives and tame our emotions towards the goal. We do everything necessary, to seek it, hunt it down and fancy our chances. And as the idea settles; thoughts like short flower stalks bloom; ticking with excitement and life; come out of the umbelliferrous vision illusion; of what may and may not happen. We think of every possible things in units of what it could be; and game of life like a chessboard… And with our own set of explanations, interpretations and rendering for the moves, even before we actually make it, we convince ourselves to say ‘Eureka !!! This is it.’ — my Opportunity………

Hope you like it. :)  Now that you have read it. Just a question.. Do you see something ;) Ask me if you don’t.

“Opportunity…”

    Almost perfect Nave! Flows so well.

    The wonderful thing about an acrostic is that you can write a book with one word. It removed the waste, and allows the reader to focus on the topic — the message, that is.

    I love your dialogue, as to me, it seems a good teaching tool. One should never miss an opportunity to enlighten ones friends.

    But the word looks wrong. I think the “t” is missing. Maybe it’s my old eyes. That said, what else did I miss?

    @Amias

    Thank you for pointing that out Amias… It almost got skipped when restored a previous revision of the post before publishing… the word Temptations was lost in the process :) Thank you Amias !!!

    If you notice its a double column acrostic that says


    One’s Onions,
    Peeled For
    Pandora’s Lair.

    Objectives Inhabit,
    Reasons For-seen.
    Tame Emotions.

    OPPORTUNITY OF LIFETIME !!!

    Thank you :)

    Yes, I SEE IT!

    Now one more thing, the “t” is in the wrong place.

    :P my bad … i guess thats the reason why our parents tell us not to do things in haste … rushing to the finish line is often dangerous.. :D but an opportunity can be so tempting that sometimes we miscalculate ;)

    Double Thanks Amias !!! :) You have been very supportive and you have eye for everything which is a blessing for me :D

    Have corrected the positioning :) Thank you so much :)
