This acrostic, POETRY, delivers the message of positive poetry. I think poetry should be all things bad and good. It is the syphon that drains pent up emotions through the fingers into what inspires, tantalized, shocks, and entertains. Happy day.

Man, RP. If that's the case, then I'm screwed, blued and tattooed! Rarely does my poetry enlighten anyone, much less make people feel "brighter" about anything. If anything, it had quite the opposite effect.

Still, I see where you're coming from here, and it is a well written and thought provoking acrostic.

Nice work, and best of luck in the contest. ~Dean

    Hello Dean Kuch,
    No need of 1st two lines, my friend, for I've almost been a regular reader of your various kinds of pieces of work, I know and appreciate you from that angle.
    I like your straightforwardness and thank you very much for your next two lines.
    Dear Dean, You are wishing me 'Best of Luck' in the contest. Won't it be at your own cost?
    Needless to so that it's a light joke and you understand it well.
    Have a pleasant time!

    At my own cost? No, not really. I know you have just as good (if not better) chance as I of winning the acrostic contest, and I sincerely wish you good luck. In fact, I wish everyone who has the gumtion, drive and ambition to enter these site sponsored contests all the luck in the world, you included, LOL.

    You're very welcome, RP. Keep keepin' it real, my friend.

    ~Dean

I like the criteria listed for effective poetry. I try to provide insight and some hopefulness in each poem. My goal is to share my lessons, my errors, and describe some actions resulting in my growth so that if others can use them, the world can be more healthy and more appealing.

Hi there,

A fine acrostic poem you have crafted here. There have been some really good ones this time around. Good flow to the piece and the rhythm stays intact with the rhyme which can be difficult in this form.

Nicely penned

A well written poem with a message, but I also think that there is a place for free verse as well. Free verse can capture a moment, or a place, or a feeling, which cause the reader to stop and consider what is being said, opening them to thinks that had not thought of before. Just my thoughts, even though I do like your poem.

I enjoyed your acrostic. I like your word choices for the acrostic word and the lines for each letter. Your picture is fitting. Good job with the rhyme, too. Good job with making the first letter of each line a different size than the others.

Good job and good luck in the contest. I see no changes.

I mostly agree, although sometimes just silly thoughts can also be fun. Laughing is good medicine and an appreciation for the ridiculous is necessary or you might end up a politician. Thanks for writing and sharing, I enjoyed it very much.
