This week’s challenge is to write a specific form with a twist! https://wordcraftpoetry.com/2023/05/23/tankatuesday-weekly-poetry-challenge-no-321-5-23-23/
Write an acrostic poem with a syllable count of 8, 9, or 10 syllables per line (all the same, or a mixture of syllable counts, is fine).
Next Tuesday, May 31st, I will be presenting the scholarship in my son’s name, to two graduates of his high school. The Joseph Bialczak Excellence in Mathematics Scholarship. This was made to honor his legacy. ❤️
Legacy
Letting the world know you were here
Engaging your memory often
Grasp the impact you had on others’ lives
Asking the world to remember you
Carrying memories day to day
Your memory will live forever

Stine Writing 
May Joseph’s memories be for blessings and the scholarship in his honor continue to enlighten those interested in mathematics.
I think of my birth mother who passed away when I was very young everytime I write… Hoping that I am her legacy.
