Acrostic Quotes

“BRONZE UPON GOLD             　 DESTROY THE TYRANT　
EAST MEETS WEST                 　 AID THE WINGED　
LEGIONS ARE REDEEMED    　 UNDER GOLDEN HILLS　
LIGHT THE DEPTHS               　 GREAT STALLION’S FOAL　
ONE AGAINST MANY             　 HARKEN THE TRUMPETS　
NEVER SPIRIT DEFEATED     　 TURN RED TIDES　
ANCIENT WORDS SPOKEN   　 ENTER STRANGER’S HOME　
SHAKING OLD FOUNDATIONS　 REGAIN LOST GLORY　”
― Rick Riordan, The Burning Maze

“In every possibility of a mind
May you travel, yet not blind.
As a head filled with imagination,
Goes a heart full of gold creation,
It's never late to have a dream.
Nor is it so far away as it seems,
And, like a rearview mirror reveals,
Thus a fantasy soon becomes real.
It may be closer than it appears.
Or at least it will show up clear.
Never give up a dream for fear!”
― Ana Claudia Antunes, ACross Tic

Never lost or underestimated.

“Here there was a cheerful boy
At least he created tales and lived in joy.
Nursery rhymes his grandmother told,
Songs and tales emerged gladly in gold.

Caring heart, affection spoke loud as brighter,
He made the decision: he would be a writer!
Rising laughters, crying tears, many feelings,
Inserted everything and nothing was in vain.
So he transformed the ugly into beautiful,
Tales to amuse and make everyone sane,
In there he went, without daydreams or zeal.
As such it was born the icon of literature still.
No one denied he was exceedingly bountiful.

A ballerina loves the soldier in his world,
Nothing gets involved in his fairy tales,
Dancing from a poor weak boy to a king,
Eccentric prince of charm in winged corners!
Rare star of sweet tenderness,
Sensible and masterful in tenderness,
Emchanted kingdom of dreams and candor,
Now a divine fire of a soul he shines.

Havia um menino alegre porem so
Ao menos criava contos e deles vivia
Nas historias que contava sua avo,
Seus contos surgiam pois ele os via.

Carinho nao faltava em seu coracao ator,
Havia tomado a decisao: seria escritor!
Risos, lagrimas, sentimentos saos,
Inseria tudo e nada era em vao.
Transformava ate o feio em belo,
Inadvertia e divertia com seu elo,
Adiante ia, sem devaneios e zelo.
Nascia assim o icone da literatura.

A bailarina ama o soldado em seu mundo,
Nada se interpunha em seus contos de fadas,
De pobre menino fraco e cogitabundo,
Era principe de encantos em cantos alados!
Rara estrela de doce brandura,
Sensata e magistral em ternura,
Em seu reino de sonhos e candura,
No fogo divino de sua alma fulgura.”

Under a delicious food, yellow or red.

Urgent dinner by hook or crook.

Rare they are, a rare sight.

Inside a new hole,

“Oh life is like potatoes and oignons;
In cooking you find many layers to peel
Go deep to really know what's going on.
Nevertheless you still have to cook to feel
Over the mouth their taste smooth the tongue
Not only you appreciate but make it known
So they are more than how they look in the grill.”
― Ana Claudia Antunes, ACross Tic

These days that we worry
Right when we need to breath.
Excess of stress we catch,
That we forget to stretch
Causing pain for miles away,
Hence ruining a running day!!”

“Some people grow
Partially so.
Instead others go,
Rarefied winds blow.
In all there is still a few,
Those with a different view,
Under pressure remain still.
And yet they sow,
Like the rivers flow,
In the rain, high or low,
The seeds of a soul,
Young starting anew!”
― Ana Claudia Antunes, ACross Tic

Every emotion in essence!”

Get it loose with no excuse.
Shake and dance!”

Enraged she's colic!
Lovely indeed a fellow
And so sweet a collie.
Never but so mellow
Can she be like a dolly?
However she's so frolic!
Or could she get yellow
Like a peach, but jolly?
You'll regret her follies!”

“Eagle & I - An Acrostic

Embracing depths, I spread my wings
Above the world, where wisdom sings
Graceful soar, to the cave of my heart
Letting go of doubts, indeed a tough art
Earnestly abiding here, never shall I part
&
I

You are that Eagle
You are that I
You are that Heart
Never Apart!”
