Acrostic Poetry Contest
by Chrissy710

Interesting acrostic poem... it's very helpful for those who are learning the acrostic form. You incorporated each word in a way that makes sense and flows well. Good luck!

I have to give this 6 stars for how clever and original it is. I would never have thought of taking the contest prompt and incorporating it into the poem. Well done, best of luck in the contest. :)

Hello Christine.

Outstanding job of complying with the acrostic style and for having it make sense in the read. It's easy to mechanically do the style but getting the writing to read well and make sense. Well Done, and good luck in the contest.

Robert

The author's words are creative, clear, interesting and descriptive.
I enjoyed the read of this colorful poem! The poem flows and
connects well. The artwork is awesome and compliments these words.

This is a truly excellent acrostic poem: logically flowing--unlike some acrostics I read that are mere lists--and descriptive, defining the style of poetry in detail.

Good luck with the Acrostic Poetry Contest, Christine. The picture was lovely and it seemed perfect for your words. I really enjoyed this. It seemed to lay out a plan for one's interpretation of the requirement of such a poem. Well done.

    MMmmm I think it must be all the science and medical stuff that is crammed in our brains. Sometimes we have to think outside the regular box and our minds love a challenge. You are so welcome, Christine.

I've noticed the clever way you have made the poetic narrative as one complete phase, and cleverly woven in all the chosen acrostic statement in the narrative, very clever, and a lesson in the correct way to write an acrostic without deviating, well done Chris, good job, and good luck, blessings Roy

    Hi Roy oh you are a gem for giving me a six for this I had fun thinking this one up but once I started it just seemed to happen Thats what I love about writing poetry I never know what any of my poems will be until the last line is complete I never pre think anything always on the spot lol

    I?d have to say, me too, I love seeing what comes up, I?m very rarely stumped, even though I don?t know where it?s going, I wrote two verses after a dear friend?s wife passed away on Sunday night, after talking to her that day, full of life and verve. I finished it today in a different meter, fascinating what came out, it?s a tribute, I?ll post it in a couple of days. It?s called ?Rosy?s song? her mum is 97, smuggled bibles into China,
