Sisterhood/Brotherhood -- The Acrostic

It's acrostic time again!!

This time, no matter the org you BELONG to or are INTERESTED in, you can participate!!

Creating an acrostic, what is your definition of SISTERHOOD (ladies), BROTHERHOOD (men)?

What is an acrostic you ask?

a·cros·tic Pronunciation Key (-krôstk, -krstk)
n.
A poem or series of lines in which certain letters, usually the first in each line, form a name, motto, or message when read in sequence.


Here is a basic example:
Conscientious seeker of knowledge, truth, and love
Ambitious woman with goal yet to achieve
Reliable friend
Loves to laugh and make others laugh
Addicted to GC and the Internet

**CRICKETS**

Here is my definition or thoughts on Sisterhood.

Sincerity and Strength of a relationship between women
Intimacy of thoughts, trials, tribulations, and triumphs shared
Sometimes that relationship encounters a rough spot or two
The bond and love are tested with disagreements, distance, and distractions
Embracing another woman though she may be different from me
Responsibility to my sister to be honest, loving, and forthright
Her love for me and my love for her will get us through any challenges that we might face
Over the phone, e-mail, cups of tea, trips to the mall, or trips out of town -- my sister is always there for me
On my knees, I pray that God blesses her with strength, knowledge, patience, love for and from others, self love, and unlimited blessings that she cannot imagine
Dear Sister, I embrace you as a child of God who is a reflection of Him and His love for me.

Thumbs up My creative side coming out.....

I've done acrostic poetry before using small phrases and people's names (just not mine yet). I'll do the best I can to describe what sisterhood means to me in the poetic (floetic) form.

Something that real and
Intelligent women
Strive to achieve in the midst of
Troubles, trials and tribulations and
End up succeeding because they
Realize that prayer, persistence, perseverance and
Hard work always pay
Off tremendously.
Ostracize all critics and haters,
Do what works best for you and get in where you fit in!

Thanks for allowing me to shine my rays of light upon the forum! Until next time ladies!

Thumbs up

CT4 and LilSunshine, you all did great! Here's mine (trust, this took time for me!)...

Solid Sista who's not

Instigating and always finding fault. Never

Shady and inconsistent, but

Trustworthy and always there to lend a listening ear.

Epitome of what a friend should be

Reliable in ever way possible

Happy for my happiness and never makes me feel like I'm less than a woman.

Open to tell me when I'm wrong

Open-minded enough to accept when she's wrong

Dare not come between us because we're sisters!
