Congratulations on your well deserved win. Your poem is creative and humorous. I can relate to falling asleep at the computer. However, I'm usually reading a post. I wake up and have to start over. I enjoyed your acrostic poem.

Thank you for an excellent review and comments. I usually trying to write a review when I fall asleep and I almost always and pressing on a key when it happens. You'd think my finger would relax and let go but it doesn't.

Excellent acrostic poem using your name and congrats on winning the contest. I like how you blame a leprechaun for being at your computer while you fell asleep. I would do the same thing. This is a fun poem to read.

Wow! I love this acrostic poem and very appropriate as it's coming up to Paddy's day soon. This is so cleverly written and a great entry for the competition. Good luck and best wishes. Jen.

Thank you Jen. It was fun to write about the leprechaun and blame him for trying to mess up my acrostic poem.

Congratulations on the contest win for this fun Acrostic write using your own name, Beth. This leprechaun does look like a cheeky chap, obviously full of mischief.
Cheers

Thank you Pearl, I hadn't planned on writing about him, until I saw those pages of the same letter over and over. I figured I needed to blame someone. Surely I couldn't do that in my sleep. LOL

Congratulations, Beth, with your first-place win. When I read this
earlier, I didn't review it right then. However, I did vote for it. The
picture was perfect. I liked the use of end rhymes and the bolding
of the first letter of each line. Was the 'O' for your middle name?
Your words were descriptive and painted a great picture for readers.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

Thank you Jan. I really appreciate you vote and you review. I'm glad you liked it. No the O isn't part of my name. I kept putting in a space to separate the first from the last name but space always disappeared so I put -o- in as a separation.

Well, aren't you a clever miss. You and I suffer the same malady. The intake of food brings about a rapid state of sleepiness. I cannot tell you how many times I have gone to sleep in front of my computer and woke up several minutes later to find out that I have slept for a good amount of time. Embarrassment written all over my face.

Thank you for a great and fun review. At least you didn't mention leaving your finger on a key while you sleep. LOL

Comment from Thesis
I liked this poem. It told a story and set up the fact that there was no memory of the Leprechaun having visited because of being asleep. Quite humorous, but revealing that a nap is the culpret.

Elizabeth, what a very fun acrostic poem you have written. I admit the prompt is creative as well, and your timing for St. Paddy's day is perfect. I hope this little rascal brings you a pot of gold! Well done. Terry.

Thank you Terry, It was fun to write. i didn't start off planning to write about a leprechaun but he managed to mess up what I written so I changed directions.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
That was brilliant, Beth, and congratulations on your well deserved win! I don't think I've read one as good as yours, your lines just roll so smoothly into the next. And I liked the topic, I'm a bit like that, but try not to sleep because I have trouble already sleeping at night. Well done, my friend, this really is a fabulous acrostic. :)) Sandra xx

Thank you, Sandra. If I could sleep at night, I wouldn't so sleepy after lunch. I do try not to sleep but I can't seem to control it. I really enjoyed your comments.
