Hi Mary, Thank you so much my friend. AS long as readers enjoy what I do I'll keep doing it. Thank you for the wonderful compliment. Hugs and Smiles, Helvi :o)

I have never attempted a double acrostic - geez that has to take a lot of time and planning! The only thing I have a bit of trouble with is the formatting - I find the long elipses a bit distracting - what is your strategy behind using them and making them so long?
Other than that minor concern, this acrostic is cleverly constructed and longingly romantic in tone. Brooke :-)

Hi Brook, I was trying to realign the right side of the poem so you could read it downward. The lines in the poem are not the same length so this was the only way I could place the letters on the right side in a straight vertical row. I can get rid of the elipses, but the last word in each line would still be way over on the right. I'm glad you enjoyed the poem. If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them. :o) I don't know what else to do? Thanks for the great review. Helvi :o)

I am a total formatting/computer failure - you need someone who's good at that stuff - names are not jumping to mind, but I'm sure there are plenty of people more qualified than I am.

Thanks for trying to help anyway. I appreciate your wanting too. Maybe I can lighten them a little so the effect isn't so strong. I'll see what I can do.
Blessings,
Helvi :o)

I got an idea - post the question in the general category of the forums, under commentary - I bet someone will jump to your aid there

Hi Helvi old friend.
Do you love me? The words I love you are so easy to speak for some. I guess we would have to feel it to really know.
Nice work
Cheers

Great job!
So, I had to give you a 6 star.
Doing a one sided acrostic is hard, I know, I've done a few, but I've never tried a double sided one. That's so cool.
Now, I'll have to try it, see if I can do it.
I like the image, it goes perfectly with your piece and how you presented the whole poem visually.
I like the title.
Hard to pick a favorite part, since I like the whole thing.
I like the do-si-do part, I thought that was great, and the rev part.
Great job.

Very skillfully written. The message is strong, either love me in a demonstrative way, or leave me to find love. It is truly a strong, beautiful work.

This is such a creative idea and so well written!
I like this concept very much of left/right acrostic.
Your poem itself is also very nicely done with great
flow and rhythm.
Truly creative!
