Crying get's you nowhere
Life has no reverse
If you dwell upon the past
Conditions just gets worse
Exceptional Acrostic poem, beautifully done and with so much meaning. For dwelling on the past only causes you to miss out on the present. Perfect contest entry, good luck.

Comment from Ridley Williams
Hello Brooke,
I appreciated your opening thought, for it is amazing to me how much the past may interfere with the present. So many people are stuck in a place where pain and sorrow dwell. I also liked your closing advice about leaving the negativity behind by blowing this town for a brighter tomorrow. Great thought and delivery...Best of luck with this entry, Bill

Wonderful. Some acrostic poems meet the criteria, but show no originality, no style no class. This acrostic poem meets all the criterion and is very original, is very pleasing and just makes me feel really good. Excellent work from an outstanding writer.

There is a wonderful message in this poem, highlighted in the lines below:
"Kick your problems to the curb,
Evict each trial and trouble,
Tarry not where sorrows dwell --
You need to leave life's rubble."
Well done, Brooke.

Oh, how I agree with you on this theme. I wonder if it will influence the many that seem to stay in the rubble here on FS. More positive attitudes would be a pleasure to read. I think they continue to depress/suppress each other and muddle around in mutual misery.
That's why I love your poems, Brooke. They are always uplifing. What a great way to start the day. Thank you, my friend. :) e

Comment from Dawn Munro
Well, once again, I have no darn sixes left, and this is the best acrostic I've ever read, Brooke. Simply amazing - perfect meter and rhyme, all spelling out the title, and even better, wonderfully, beautifully inspiring.
OUTSTANDING, EXCEPTIONAL, AMAZING!!!******************!!!

Comment from Sanku
Brooke, this is onomatopoeic and metaphorical. the clickety clack conveys how we trundle through difficulties.'life has no reverse'-how true!(sadly too).so no place for 'if onlies'in our life.'kick your problems to the curb'and roll on is the only way.
May I share a story?
A Malayalam (a south Indian language)actor who is acclaimed for his comedy roles is a succesful cancer survivor.to add to his worries his wife also is now fighting cancer .during a recent fund raising meeting he said that when cancer 'visited' him he said"-darling why don't you go and sit outside on the verandah because I am slightly busy now.so he is waiting there for me to call him in'"-

Hi Brooke,
I love when you go all 'wise', but to have such rhythm and meter and construct a acrostic poem, takes mad skills and of course a highly evolved grasp of your craft. This is an exceptional example of this form. Too many times I see the lines running over into the next, but here everything has its correct position and runs beautifully together... no hiccups, just perfect flow.
All the very best in this contest.
With our thoughts we create,
the sight of optimism,
James xx
