Beautiful presentation of this--the colors pop! I love the words and phrases you've chosen to define your topic--the words flowing naturally, without awkward interuption or feeling "forced". Bravo and best wishes as you redefine and re-establish your definitions. You have a beautiful soul...S.

I thought this was going to be about the fourth of july when I saw your artwork and read the title. I love this great acrostic! So descriptive and real. Independence means so much more after we lose it for a while.

I was worried people wouldn't get that it was about personal independence so close to Independencence Day-but so far so good. Thank you for your kind review!!! Debbie

If I had the sixth star I would surly give it to you.
Like what your saying because I can relate since my strokes and other illness.
I came to the conclusion that I don't see myself as a person with a disability ... But a person with protenial. Thank you for sharing.

That is a good way to look at it. I'm sure I will get used to all this, but I am struggling with it now. Thank you for your kind review!!! Debbie

Your very welcome.

I don't know if there are any written rules about acrostics, but I've always understood that each line should contain a complete thought, suggestion or an item in a list related to the acrostic word and all in the same tense. The last seven lines reads like a run-on sentence.

I thought the idea was to make it flow more like a single thought. I'll have to try to find that out. Anyway, thanks for reviewing.
Comment from Bellringer
Debbie, your acrostic is very well composed and clearly delivers your message of independence. The strongest part is the pep-talk to self and encouragement to persevere--as freedom is a state of mind. There are many folks with use of all their limbs who don't feel independent because of their thought process. Blessings, Hector

This is a very beautiful acrostic poem for the contest, about independence. The poem spells out what independence means to the author. Heart-felt and a good read.

I'm very much impressed with your acrostic poem. You've described independence and the desire for it, in each line. It has a great flow and expresses the feeling for many who want and need to be in charge of their own lives. It's not the easiest form of poetry, but you've mastered it here. deb
