Excellent acrostic Mary. The poem is very consistent with the message. It flows well with good rhythm and meter. Oh the joy of growing older. Rod

I dance when I do housework and ...they look weird fits
But it is therapy..even if their's are feeble stances and sixties music
Well penned
God bless

Mary;
+ the picture is outstanding and very relevant, reflective, appropriate and complementary to the poem. And just like your poem says they look self absorbed in what they're doing.
+ Excellent use of enjambment which is the running on of a thought and concepts in one stanza and line to the next without a syntactical break.
+ This word acrostic is written perfectly and fits the requirements necessary for the contest.
+ Very good imagery which is very distinct, clear and exquisitely expressive and vividly and demonstratively descriptive: "they did look weird, some were of a feeble stance, not your typical sight from seniors...". This term fits your picture perfectly.
+ Good luck in the contest and may the good Lord be with you always, Mary.
Alex

This type of poem acrostic where the feelings flow of so truthful form they give samples of the aptitude to write them and to give to understand its content, greetings and blessings
its really a therapy

This is quite an interesting poem that the author has created with this piece of work. I can picture the scene as it is portrayed in the picture. Good luck with the contest.

I like the way the poem was written. The first word of every line being red was a nice touch as were the old folks having a knees up. Good luck in the contest and thank you for sharing.

First of all, I loved the picture...
It help to clarify your poem...
It took me three times of reading...
I guess I'm self-absorbed...
This was fun to read. I was merely being funny since I'd look that funny on the dance floor too...
Best wishes in the contest.

Nothing wrong with Seniors getting down. Good thing for them to do. Poem's action easy to follow. Poem flowed well. Picture added depth to the poem. Write on.

Mary, this is a good entry. I hope you enjoyed the format.
I had fun reading the various entries and I might say I entered it myself, but will not vote for my own work. Patricia

    It took a bit of thinking as to how to approach it. Is it your own idea?
reply by patcelaw on 22-Apr-2015
    Yes, it is my creation. I have been pleased with the response to the contest. I may create another contest for it later but as a blind entry contest.
