Analie Shepherd,

This is a beautiful poem. I liked it very much. It made for an enjoyable read. The flow was smooth. Your descriptive words were very good for explaining your ideas and your feelings. They were very understandable and comprehensible.

There was no SPAG. No typos. No homophones. No problems at all.

I look forward to seeing you again.

Love you,

Oatmeal

This is pretty ambitious; you fit into the acrostic, and you had some really great images that captured the essence of each season. Spring bursts on the scene, brightens and grows, summer reaches the zenith, the lazy sunshine, autumn gives us all that fruit and Winter freezes, waits out the resting of life, waiting for spring to come again. little alliterations scattered about give the prose poetry some nice music. estory

This work has reached the exceptional level

Each season in the poem has a lovely essence of appreciation, i.e., where spring is of rebirth as the world awakens. Each stanza moves gracefully. And the summer and winter solstice are the ones with the most personality, even though each has its own personality. Good luck in the contest.

Lovely poetic descriptions of each season, this must have been a difficult to write acrostic, and I wish you luck in the site's contest. I penned one myself yesterday.

My favorite season is Autumn, and you've painted such a pretty picture:

Autumn, mysteriously falls into fullness
Untold bounty, heavy-laden green and gold

Nature's last embrace, falling, falling--waning splendor

I especially loved the metaphor of "nature's last embrace".

I can identify with this poem with it's sad and harsh undertones of the season's changing and sometimes friendly and sometimes bleak, bringing loneliness into scenes of beauty, I joy to read, love Dolly x

I enjoyed the beautiful visuals conjured up from your well crafted Acrostic contest poem friend. I think you did a great job of breathing life into each season, the emotional connection offered by each season also shone through. I wish you well in the contest friend... Impressive!

Acrostic poems aren't always simple. You did a great job at writing this poem. Well thought out. Lovely visual imagery. Good detailing. Nice alliterations without anything overpowering, which allows thoughts to sail along as the story in poem unfolds. Good luck in the contest :)

The poem is deep I like it. I enjoy how nature speaks by itself and how we can interpret life thanks to the seasons that delight us. The adjectives that you use to describe each season were clever to give us another sensation rather than the aging with the years.
