Yes I agree,life is a series of pinnacles, some too hard to climb,others to far. A beautfully written acrostic, with free verse narrative, artistic and well written, with that wistful feel that comes with reflection and introspection, well done,beautfully done, blessings, Roy

Comment from Dean Kuch
Life is a succession of pinnacles, JLR.
We can choose to keep climbing and rise above them or stay mired in the quagmire and muck of everyday, hum-drum mediocrity.
As for me, I choose to scratch, claw and clamor my way to the top of each new rise that challenges me.
You can't see the mountain peaks if you're stuck in the valley.
Nice acrostic.

I enjoyed reading your contest acrostic, JLR. Good job on its style. Your words are descriptive and many will identify with you in the way you describe those with negative thoughts/feelings. Thanks for sharing and best wishes. Jan

You are kind in your review and comments thank you!
Comment from T. B. Peterson
Great enjoyable poem! Your philosophical views are hard to deny!
Why do we have to be complicated humans with all the needs and wants? We don't if we just be.
Also, clever pun at the end mentioning human being.
I really enjoyed this poem, and look forward to seeing more from you.

I find this writing interesting. . .and I'm with you about difficult people. I simply walk away. And of course, we do have a choice of staying and seeing if there is something more, then we can change our mind but it is our choice. Nice writing and interesting photo to go with the writing. . never before have I thought of these rock structures as a slippery slope. :)

Thank you for your comments, I always value your thoughts.
Comment from Mystic Angel 7777
This meets the contest requirements nicely spelling out the word "Pinnacle" moving down the page. One of the things I do not care for is that the style tends to come across quite prose-like without use of any poetic tools which is the case here. Instead of each line being able to stand alone poetically, the lines must be read in pairs to form complete sentences of prose. Good luck in the judging and thank you very much for sharing it.

I am still very much an unlearned writer and I am so appreciative of your pearls of wisdom, thank you.

I am no expert on this style but I have entered one of mine that was a winner. It may give you some ideas for jazzing yours up before the judging.
Marvelous wonders touch the faith seeking heart;
inspiring the truths disciples impart.
Ready the willing, these blessings to own
awaiting their answers and keen to atone.
Could we but hear what tomorrow?s song sings?
Looking for peace in material things?
Each dawn lights a world filled with treasures of gold,
so sad that we miss them unless we are told.
Comment from Earl Corp
I have always thought of pinnacle being a positive word, but I see for you that's not the case in this poem. I agree with your sentiments, we shouldn't have to put on a persona to deal with other peopl.Good luck in the contest.

Thank you, some times, as an introvert I must admit that people can present themselves as slippery ascents in developing a real honest relationship with.
Comment from Reese Turner
"...human doing rather than human being" has been stolen. I shall use it. I can certainly relate to your points. Now, I'll let you climb the real mountains while I enjoy my rolling hills, but time without interruptions is indeed precious.

Comment from Bill Schott
This acrostic poem, Pinnacle of Insight, presented with the vertical theme, PINNACLE, hints to your not wanting to waste breath on someone who isn't a positive force. I love this final thought: Enjoyment of a human doing rather than a human being!
Super.
