This straightforward rhyme says something that we all need to remember. Sometimes poetry gets too complicated and deciphering the meaning and trying to get it right, is a task. I like the simplicity of this lovely rhyming poem that says what it means and means what it says.
Well done:)

A very well-done rhyming poem for this acrostic poem, good luck in the contest. The picture and caption you chose is pretty cool too, makes one think. The message of the poem is excellent, good work!

Wise advice to keep a friendship alive here, we should see the good points in our friends and forgive their failings as none of us are perfect. A fine acrostic, love Dolly x

Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. I enjoyed reading and loved the not judging message. I am a little confused. First let me say, I am NOT a poet, so I could be completely wrong. I thought in an acoustic poem, in each line the first letter spells a word down. I see a few extra letters and a few missing.

    The first letter does spell a word down.

    When I read the first time there was a "And' at the end of the first stanza.

    There never was.

    I guess I read it wrong.

    I guess you did.

    Unfortunately, I thought I double check; twice. I guess I was seeing things.

I generally find this genre 'forced' with the need for alphabetic fit rather than rhyme and meter. Yours was not...acrostic, but a nice post and message. Good luck in your contest.

Dear Mystery Writer,

I think you have a nice poem going and a wonderful message. Your acrostic is clear as 'Don't Judge' and that's a lovely concept to pass on. The only 'negative' I might offer is that the idea of the pet has nothing to do with the rest of the story? May I suggest you exchange that line for something else?

If you have any problem at all, visit a site line rhymebrain.com or its equivalent for ideas. (There are several, but that's my fav.)

Thanks and good luck!

    I don't know what to change it too.

    Trust God will help you find a pet.

As you wish; I will not judge. Automatic five! Harambe took a shot for you and maybe someday you will take a shot for Harambe.

What a nice poem filled with compassion and empathy. When we judge, it is a scar on our record with God...or karma, if you will. Find me one unblemished thing...all creations have bumps and nicks - even our souls.
Your poem fits the requirements for the contest and I wish you luck.

Hello Pookie. I enjoyed reading this meaningful and resolute verse about how we are to be kind to one another and forgive each other our mistakes and faults. Well said.

Nicely done to the prompt. Very good advice in this piece. Maybe I'm missing something, but the two lines about a pet seem to be out of place with all the other lines about a friend.
