This is a very well written acrostic poem using the word Waterfalls. You used very good descriptive words and a very lovely picture. Best wishes in the contest. Blessings, Teri

Your acrostic was so well written that I didn't even know it was an acrostic until I saw the contest it was in.
It was smooth and enlightening.
I love the way you described the waterfall using imagery that helped us to visualize what you were thinking about.

Take care,
Rhonda

Thank you for your great review. I love waterfalls and find them soothing... even the loud ones.

reply by davisr (Rhonda) on 08-Mar-2018

I like them, too, even the loud powerful ones that take your breath away.

Outstanding artwork opens and immediately grips the reader into the excellent poetic delivery which is also well packaged under the waterfall artwork. I enjoyed this work very much and cannot suggest anything that might make it better in any way! MY thanks to this author for a fine read! HIS GRAYNESS Vance

I thought you did a good job in painting the scene of the waterfall. I wish you the best of luck in the contest.

I did notice one questionable rhyme scheme. Go and bough. Bough is pronounced with an ow.

Good luck,
Russell

This is lovely and describes so many wonders of the scene. The whispered sound, the roaring of seas. Lots of attention to sound. This has a comfortable, peaceful quality, the feeling you'd have upon visiting this place. Good subject for your acrostic, and best of luck in the contest. Lovely rhyme and flow in your poem. judi

I think this is a good entry for the Acrostic Poetry writing prompt.
Nicely done and a good flowing use of the Acrostic.
The picture is stunning as well.
Well done and good luck to you with the competition.

I really liked this one.

The only slight niggle would be the use of 'sound' in both the first two lines. I appreciate it was probably intended, but given the shorter poem, and the use again in line seven, it felt a little too much so. Perhaps 'a quiet remembrance of troubled seas'? Completely your choice (and it may only be me who has this issue, anyway :) ), but just as an option.

Otherwise very, very good, well done.

Take care.

Thanks so much for your suggestions. Great idea.

Could I impose on you to re-read it. I appreciate your point of view.

reply by James H. Oldfield on 22-Jan-2018

Of course, I'm always happy to :)

That works much better, and resolves the issue I'd first had. Another option, if you wished, would be 'an echoed roaring...', reflecting both that the sounds echoes through the trees, and that the waterfall is like an echo of the distant sea. -James
