While this is a great poem, I personally would not consider it a "true" acrostic where EACH line as you read down forms the word.
I do wish you the best with the writing prompt entry.
Blessings to you,
Marsha

This is a very detailed and well-written poem with much to think about. I would probably adjust some areas though, as some sentences are quite long and there are in some places additional sentences before the next letter of the word of the acrostic (eg. the line which begins with "Touch your heart..." should (after one complete sentence) be followed with a sentence that begins with the "I" in the word Acrostic).
There's a lot of good encouraging words about expressing from deep down within in one's writings :)

Well, it was a good poem. I missed seeing the letter (I) as the line went down...I see the acrost (missing i) c...? But otherwise a pretty good poem!Thanks for sharing. I see you wrote this in a hurry!

Thanks Janice.
Yes this was a rush job and a top reviewer pointed
out the missing letter "I" which I corrected in 15
seconds.
Re-read quick and follow me as I shall you and
perhaps together we can find room to dispel
"The Gloom!'
LOL!
Thanks!

I haven't read much Acrostic poetry, but since reading this, I'm intrigued! It's interesting the way you wove a poem into instructions on how to do it...THEN, you expanded on that and gave advice on how to let the creative juices flow into the poem while sticking to the 'formula'. "For this is pureness of expression, Teaching a lesson." Very clever! Oh, I love the photo!
