A well written acrostic for the contest. Painting with oils and painting with words. I'd say painting with words challenges the mind tenfold. You have to paint so vividly that the reader is enthralled with the picture. Well written. Best wishes for the contest. luv jada

    Thank you ,Jada, for taking the time to read and review my words. I agree with you about the challenge of the words, but the two mediums are so close really--the proper shading and mood, the subject put into the perfect light, the nuances of color that make all the difference--and I am referring here to written words, not painting. I appreciate the good wishes and the stars, too. --Wendy

A beautiful Acrostic poem Rosehill. The words chosen is really catchy. The lines of the poem convey your feelings very eloquently. Enjoyed the read.

Lovely Acrostic Poem. You painted words with a nice stroke! Great lines and content and "words strung like pearls" You have done a wonderful job: "Sketching carefully"

Picasso and the bard in one poem makes perfect sense
to me. Both are artists just differed forms of art.
This acrostic is in exceptional form and you describe
his art so tastefully. The last stanza is my favorite.

    Hey Eric, I appreciate the thoughts and the stars. I wouldn't give up at any point. I haven't a clue as to how they judge these little contests so keep entering and for heavens sake, keep writing. Love Santa Rosa--Southern Cali gal 99% of my life, but my sister is up there in Woodland and I love the visits.

This poem shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as 'Acrostic.' It's just an exciting work of words and I enjoyed the poem. But best of luck in the contest anyway. cvc

    Thank you so much Kenny. I appreciate that you mention the Acrostic as not limiting the result. I try and make each poem, regardless of the form, true unto itself and your review has put a huge smile on my face as I seem to have succeeded here. Thank you for the good wishes and the stars.

This is a well formed, metered and rhymed acrostic which tells us what poets use to make their poems into visual images in the readers' mind. The words are the paint, the pen or keyboard the paintbrush, and the paper or computer screen the canvas.

Good luck and keep writing
