Pardon my ignorance and if it wasn't for your wonderful notes, I'd have not grasp this beautiful tale, so thank you for sharing this superb acrostic and good luck!

P.S: If I may suggest, would be nice to change the font of each beginning letter with bold letters, just a thought my friend. Good luck!

    Thanks for your review and advice, Ameen. I have considered this in the past but on the whole prefer not to have the form of the poem dominating the content. Happy Easter to you! Best wishes, Tony

I would recommend that you bold the beginning letters of every word in the poem being that this is an Acrostic poem. You have the beginning words all Capitalized but that is not quite enough to make the vertical words stand out. The poem is good, it flows well and it reads like a story which is good. Good luck in the contest.

Interesting acrostic! Mystical and eerie and a week bit of a cautionary tale...thank you for fleshing it out with the inspiration that led you to write it.... Song of Amergin eh? I'll have to google that and copy it for my (very Irish) husband!
