Cecilia (Acrostic Poem) Poem by Ferdinand L Quintos

Name poem/chain poem

CECILIA*

Crown now glints with silvery tone,
Eyes though yet glow so nostalgic,
Catchy like fresh blooms on a lei,
I do remember you still,
Love of my boss and mon ami,
Inspired much each his idea
Aimed to make things realistic.

*Cecilia Cortez-Lacuesta,
wife of my employer and
friend from 1975 to 1974.

(Name poem and chain poem are no different from ordinary poems. A name is one where each line begins with the letter in a name of a person or place or a phrase. In a chain poem, each succeeding line after the first starts with the last letter of the last word of the line preceding or followed by it; the last word of the last line should end with the first letter of the first word of the first line.)
