Comment from adewpearl
an acrostic for Romeo And Juliet - there is a great choice for no happy endings :-)
excellent use of enjambment to keep your story flowing from line to line and stanza to stanza
solid abab rhyming with a closing couplet
nice touch of alliteration in far from friends and more men
good use of feminine rhyme in your closing to this tragic tale
Brooke :-)

Thanks, Brooke.
May have been a bit ambitious with this one - didn't quite capture the story!

Is surely does not have a happy ending. The acrostic poem for the contest was nicely written in perfect form. Good luck.

Interesting take on the prompt. Yes, Romeo and Juliet is the classic tragedy. You did well summarizing what some would a very long winded tale with two stupid kids. Well done.

Rhyming is great and I like how this carries right through the second stanza of three lines--rhyming woo with through. Good flow to your piece.

This is well done. The Romeo and Juliet story told in acrostic/ sonnet style. It is smooth and even to read. You have done a great job with this poem.

Comment from Bill Schott
This is a great example of employing a different poetic model to tell a familiar story in a new way. The acrostic aspect is made invisible, really, by the deft use of phrasing. Nice.
