A fabulous acrostic Dean! It seems you're off on the right foot for 2015. Your poem tells a complete story in few words which are crafted excellently. Happy New Year my friend. Rod

Dean; Before going into the meat of the concept I'd like to show how impressive I am of your rhyming and rhythm. Your rhyming is very intricately appealing when read and I neither forced nor labored as they help with the rhythmic flow. Your rhythms meter seems to be perfectly and tempo as it flows smoothly throughout your lines.
Some of the races are used such as, "married men", and uses a metaphor and similes are apparently manifested. I gathered from your authors notes that this focal are is more than just that and that apparently it was used, the area, for the Amityville Horror Movie. Thank you so much for sharing and posting this exceptional piece of writing and I do so wish you were written to poem Saturday evening or Sunday morning, for parent reasons. Good luck in this contest for after reading your work I'm attempted not to enter it. Thank you for sharing and posting and may your future New Year's endeavors be great once.
Alex

Stunning presentation of your poem, which is a solid acrostic for
Andrea's Ghost
good use of rhyming couplets including proximate rhyme
good alliteration in judge and jury
good consonance in opulent poisons
Excellent story told within the confines of an acrostic :-) Brooke

Great job with your acrostic poem about Andrea's Ghost, Dean. Your poem tells her story and has nice end rhymes to make it flow smoothly. Nice job with alliterations throughout. Happy New Year, my friend! 8-)

Another masterfully crafted piece my friend and as usual the accompanying artwork is spot on. I love the fact that you took the time to share some history in the author notes, this certainly brings this piece to life.
Good luck in the acrostic poetry contest.
God bless!

So many people were proclaimed to be wicked or witches and were tied to a stake and burned to death. I just wonder how many of those were innocent victims of run-a-way imaginations. And now, theirs and Andrea's ghosts seek vengeance. With eyes wide open, I keep close observation. Thanks for another great poem. :-)

So did she like married men in life and in death? Probably much harder to seduce them as a corpse.

I like the structure that you utilized here - very clever.
