ACROSTIC ONLY
suggests
an acrostic based on the President of the US name.
TEMPERED HOPE.
Born of black and white
A meld of day and night,
Royalty in the making
All bad past ways foresaking.
Child of both halves of earth;
King although not by birth.
However, do we ask
Unnatural powers for the task?
Since we expect so much
Surely he'll lose his touch.
Even kings may fall!
Indeed we have seen them crawl!
No man can be unfailing.
Ought we to be loud-hailing?
Because we're sorely needing
Are we too loudly pleading?
May he achieve all that he can.
After all, he's just a man.

Excellent reminder. Too many people see Obama as either Savior or Satan, even though both those roles have already been claimed.
You should post this acrostic on Obama's web site. I know he would appreciate it and I'll bet his secretary makes sure it is one of the pieces of mail that crosses his desk.
He may be just a man, but what a man!
wow this is like the perfect acrostic and amazing and the last line just was soo appropriate..After all he is just a man
Lovely work :)
I agree with Darlene. Much too good not to share more widely!
You captured him very well.
This is a lovely Acrostic of President Obama. Your poetry flows beautifully.
Loved Dalene's comment
He may be just a man, but what a man!
