A solid contest entry, and good life advice.
Try turning on the daily news. <= I think this period was accidental? It turns the next sentence into a fragment
Thanks for the read!

Really like your poem. The news keeps us up-to-date unless we cannot believe everything we hear on the news. Somethings we must follow if we are interested.

Such true words you're writing in this wonderful acrostic, Beth. In today's world it can be hard to decipher what is true and what is not..so much misinformation and outright lies are floating around. All the best of luck. Ulla xcx

Comment from teafor2
BethShelby, this is not just morally correct on many levels, the form itself is very challenging due to limitations, constraints and restrictions. In this
particular acrostic, scribe has created a sagacious message with rhymes.
I do have a small "suggestion only:" For the line "Respect what (how) others
may believe (react). I enjoyed reading and reviewing this excellent contest
entry. Good luck. teafor2

Comment from Ric Myworld
Well, it's always a pleasure, my dear, whether it's poetry or prose. You just have a way with words that doesn't come naturally for most, hours of work and fine tuning added with talent does the trick. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
An excellent entry for the Acrostic Poetry Contest. The criteria was met with the words TRUST BUT VERIFY spelled out down the left hand side. A clear, concise message here about trusting what you hear as truth. It isn't always easy, especially these days. Trust your own eyes and ears first even when others try to tell you that you aren't seeing what you're seeing and hearing what you're hearing. Well done. Good luck.

With AI out there now you can't even eyes and ears without checking it first. Then you need to double check on other sources. Hopefully you can find what is true.

This is creative, an acrostic with rhyme. And it delivers such a worthwhile message. You have done this very cleverly. I really enjoy poetry like this.

I so very much agree with you when it comes to the listening of the daily news. We knew we need to trust but we also need to verify and we need to use common sense. There are so many lies going on in the media today that you have to be a real, Sherlock Holmes to figure out what's going on. Patric
