This is nicely done. I do however disagree about poetry having to always rhyme or it is like junk food without nutrition. I have read many works of poetry that are free verse and touch my heart greatly and are feeding my spirit. Patricia

Comment from Gloria ....
Hi RP:) You've done a terrific job with an Acrostic no less. I'm not a huge fan of the acrostic but I guess it's like every other poetic form it can be written to sound and read naturally and be educative and inspiring. I'm not really familiar with any youthful poets. Do you have any names that I should take a read from?
I love free form poetry too even though I find it the most difficult and scary to write. I'm also fond of a little junk food from time to time as I think variety is the spice of life, but all things in moderation.
Lovely job with your Acrostic and best wishes to you in the contest.
Gloria

Comment from Stacia Ann
Hi, RP. Thanks for sharing this! Very nice work.
I like the visual and how it matches, in the trajectory of the spray, the uplifting message of the poem.
The rhyme and rhythm scheme is strong, as promised.
I do have to disagree with the author message, however, that poetry without rhythm and rhyme is "junk food." My tastes (pardon the pun) also lean toward free verse with strong imagery; this is also a recognized form with a long tradition.
Thank you for sharing this!
All the Best,
Stacia

This is a great rhyming poem, with good poetic devices that make the reader leap from line to line.
Excellent examples.
Truly a remarkable poem about what poetry is.

Your acrostic poem does have rhythm, rhyme, positivity and spontaneity. And it was just fun to read. But I've read other poets; some without the characteristics you mentioned in your Author's notes. I feel they have merit too. Best wishes.

As a poet and lover of poetry, I love all forms of poetry: rhymes, Free Verse, Blank Verse, Acrostic, Sestinas , Sonnets--to name a few. You will be introduced to so many different kinds on here. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from catch22
I think you've shared one view of poetry--albeit your own. Irrespective of my opinion on the subject, this poem could use some work. The rhythm you claim as essential to poetry is inconsistent in this piece. I think you might consider using some type of regular meter in the acrostic--although I am aware it is not an easy task to pull off. You've let the form get the better of your message as well. What does realism in poetry have to do with your message? Reality is not always sunshine and roses. Just look at the news. What you're preaching is a type of romanticism or idealism at best--definitely not realism. Poetry is about self expression, not just fluffy words and phrases. This poem has not really expressed a coherent message IMO.

Hello Friend,
Thank you very much for reading my poem and expressing your suppressed feelings.
So far as 'Realism' is concerned, I suggest you to read the world renowned book 'the Bhagwad Gita' - Lord Krishna's eternal message for the whole humanity - which has been translated into all the important languages of the world and I'm sure everything will be crystal-clear in this regard.
Have a pleasant time!
