This sweet acrostic totally captures the spirit of the surprise party! I think more than any other party, the surprise party shows great love and loyalty from friends and family. Well done.

Thanks for the generous review.The surprise parties are fun and it is a monumental task to get your friends to keep a secret. Cheers.

Comment from Righteous Riter

Excellent

This piece meets the criteria of the acrostic poem as this piece spells out the word surprise. Good alliteration with presents/piled. Good story telling. Good complimentary photo followed by a message of celebration.

This was a perfect little poem. It flowed well. Meter was timed perfection. The poem also exuded happiness, like sharing the cheer. It radiated joy. Excellent work, and excellent start in the contest. Many cheers, and God bless.

I like this happy occasion. Dismal news this am, so I'm happy to change gears if only momentarily to enjoy this.

This flows well an almost musical quality. Nice on the ear. Good luck in the contest. I haven't finished reading them all yet, so I can't promise a vote but I thoroughly enjoyed this. :) Carrie

Thanks for the kind review and potential vote. I hope that everything is ok with you.... sending some angels your way, cheers Judester

You're welcome. And, yes, the angels are busy today for certain. I need to find a way to give comfort to a mother who just lost her son when I'm weak in the knees, I can't imagine, don't want to, the shape of her knees and heart. Thanks for your support.

Great job conveying the build-up & joyful ending of a surprise party! Your word choices are richly expressive: "undercover lies" . . . "ripples of laughter" . . . & the poem has a building momentum that actually FEELS like the moment being described. Thanks for sharing & good luck in the contest.

It's so difficult to figure out why certain pieces appeal to the voting readers! As long as the writing is fun, I try not to worry about contest results!

Cute and unique, a good description of the typical surprise party. Well-done as an acrostic and the use of rhyming helps it to flow nicely.
