A very well-written acrostic poem about the word awkward that prescribes our life the past few weeks where we are in isolation and don't have contact with our own family to avoid the invisible threat on our lives.

I enjoyed your contest entry. I like the way your lines are formatted. I like the short phrases. Your acrostic reads at a quick pace--which is good. You give readers much to ponder. Thanks for sharing and best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan

Great acrostic using the word awkward. This poem truly expresses that awkward feeling we've all experienced at one time or another. That last line, "Demise of dignity" so aptly completes the thought.

A nice acrostic poem. I have felt this way so many times as a self conscious teenager!
My favorite line is the last--demise of dignity. That really sums up awkward.
Best wishes,
Cindy

Oh, yes, that "slow riveting demise of dignity" when one feels like a blathering fool! Been there, done that! Your concise, direct acrostic is
creative, descriptive, and packs a punch! :-)

You've written a carefully, and well crafted poem on "Awkwardness." The reader can appreciate the meaning you've given your poem, with not only the imagery you've drawn in words, but also with the picture chosen. Well done.

In this good acrostic poem you have rightly stated the effect, feeling of a clumsy or awkward encounter in reality; well said, well done, thank you for sharing this.

Good Morning!
Your acrostic offering does, indeed, encapsulate how I have felt during awkward situations. I appreciate the paucity of words employed to express a realistic situation. Wasn't awkward at all! :)

Best Wishes!
