A very nice poem my own father was a falling star, alcohol and too much of it the culprit. The flow of words descriptive of the person worsened by the terrible intoxicated drink.

Alcohol abuse is so devastating to a family. They can lose everything, even the lose of some of the lives in the family. Good luck in the contest. Patricia

Very good contest piece. The poems spelled out one of the worse down- fall for mankind. Alcohol can either be a friend or enemy. Good luck.

A good attempt at an acrostic poem.

Infinitely readable about the battle of alcohol abuse and the trouble caused to a family.

Good poem.

Falling Star drops sluggish across the sky. ... sluggish=>sluggishly
If this were a rhymed/metered poem and you omitted the "ly" to enhance flow/meter, it would be 'poetic license'' but in a free-verse poem, it is a 'poetic felony'

Acrostics with no poetic attributes are not impressive, in fact are usually a bore. How much talent does it take to begin each line with a particular letter. if you hadn't managed to put enjambment into your second verse, I would have assessed this as needing work. But I shall give your the benefit of my doubt as too its worth.
