Wow! This was a very strong acrostic, Kamran. Please accept a virtual six from me! Loved the ending rhymes of the first four lines then the separation line which sums it all up- truly the feeling of guilt and desperation in a desert. Powerful work! Holly

Funny coincidence (though I believe nothing is "by chance") my husband's next six weeks class is on "Ethics". I'll have to pass this poem along to him, especially since you included the photograph as that is his major!

The poem descriptively entails the consequences of unethical choices! Great job. Best wishes with the contest entry.

Blessings to you,
Marsha

Though acrostics are one of my least fave poetry forms, you've done an excellent job of expressing your strong faith here, Kamran, and with the bonus of rhyme too.

The weakest rhyme is obviously 'gone', and I'd suggest the line ends with maybe 'bone/bones'. This would also add dramatism as to 'have something in one's bones' is very strong and personal. I sure won't be offended if you don't agree. :-)

Best wishes, Ray

The weight of guilt over past wrongs is very evident in this well-written Acrostic poem. "Even in the wilderness I am not alone" and "Solitude's no more companionable!" both say so much about this weight. A very thought-provoking Acrostic :)

Poet,
Your Acrostic poem for the word Ethics is extremely well written with fine imagery, excellent rhyme and meter.
You used very fine alliteration with the C words: (cannot condone)..
You also used good metaphor: "weight of my soul."
I enjoyed your lines:
In spite of my remorse the pain's not gone
Careless past behavior I now bemoan
Solitude's no more companionable!
I wish you good luck in the Acrostic poetry contest.
Would I recommend your poem to other reviewers?
Yes , I would,
Missy.

"Even in wilderness I am not alone
The weight of my soul I cannot condone
Here in desolation I couldn't atone
In spite of my remorse the pain's not gone"
The picture of a cactus grove on a deserted land represents the struggle for existence, utmost self confidence.

With communion with our souls, we shall be as wanderers across the facr of the earth. And the earth shall be a wilderness. A rapport with our souls is vital. It should be a beacon of light among others. No one can atone for our isolation until our souls can tranform it into solitude. The last three lines are all too negative we will never exit the dark tunnel of our existences until we confront the abyss within. Everyone to his/her own salvation. The final line; "Solitude is no longer companionable" this is intriguing Solitude cannot be shared. -Ekim777
