Devastation
An Acrostic- Loop Poem23 total reviews
Comment from June Sargent
A lovely and timely piece - we just experienced two deaths in our family this past week. Not from Covid - cancer. Life has its challenges even without the pandemic! And we need to shore one another up any way we can. You do it beautifully with your poetry. You have a deep sense of empathy and it shows. Thank you.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
This is a clever acrostic/loop and both forms individually are difficult and you combined them here with ease, grief can certainly freeze people's hearts and devastate their lives, such tragic moments that affect some people, a melancholy poem, love Dolly x

You're the only one I know that can write these acrostic loop poems! I hope you'll enter one in a contest - especially the loop poem contest.
Thank you for showing such compassion to those who have experienced devastation - your first word, last word and acrostic word - shows us how overwhelming it can feel and the cyclical feeling it gives when one calamity happens right after another. Hopefully, hearts will be "open to hope" soon.

Thank you so very much and also for your added certificate, I like this form for some reason, yes in these times near everyone has experienced devastation, I do enter some contests though Acrostic and or Loop poems seem to need rhyme, I will work on that, as always very much appreciated****kahpot
Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
You are a master of this unique style of poetry that I believe you invented. Your words read well, the repeated word fits in seamlessly, and your message is clear. It's been three months since my brother, Tim, died, and I'm still in shock.
Thanks for sharing and caring.
Respectfully, Jan

Thank you Jan, for some reason I like this form, the loss of a friend and or loved one is hard to accept, I have found this site a great comfort and an inspiration to try and move forward, as always very much appreciated****kahpot
Comment from Gloria ....
Yes it certainly is difficult to move forward from a tragedy and you kahpot have exceeded yourself with a loop acrostic poem. One or the other is a challenge and yet you have excelled with both.
Just one small typo:
Nunbness inflicted from past devastation
Great job with a timely theme. :)

Comment from equestrik
I think this is a creative and well constructed write being both an acrostic as well as a loop poem. Really nice work and a well chosen picture to go with your writing.

A very fine Acrostic poem derived from Devastation. The word choice here is very apt with a fine description. You cover all the bases that contribute to sheer devastation, well.

Comment from pome lover
With the way things are today, although it depends on where you are from, I don't know if this is about what's going on, or if you are referring to personal tragedy - involving loved ones. If the latter, I am very sorry.
Your poem certainly expresses sadness and deep distress. However, the more I read it and think about it, to me, the chosen picture symbolizes disaster, catastrophe, but not the personal death of a relative or friend. Of course, I may be wrong.
But it does, definitely speak of a very deep and true sadness, which you conveyed most effectively.

PS - would you mind telling me to which cause of sadness you refer? (just to satisfy my curiosity :) thanks

Thank you Katherine, I guess many forms of sadness, I probably like many know of people who have suffered from, fire, flood, and the pandemic, and I see their hope for the future weakening, so no not a personal tragedy, I just wish we could help those to move forward, very much appreciated****kahpot

True. so many sad things. I hope the powers that be let people get back to normal, back to school, back to work. That's how we move on.

I think all of humanity is suffering now to one degree or another. I think your poem is very original and spot on. The image that you chose complements your work well.

Comment from Jesse James Doty
This is excellently written and I can only imagine how difficult it must be to pen an Acrostic and Loop poem in one spellbinding piece. I might suggest that you have possibly misspelled neutral. The word used twice in the final line of this otherwise super poem. This is powerful, poignant, and enjoyable to read.
