Definitely the best acrostic I've ever read, Helvi. I love how you poke fun at yourself too and kept your rhymthm and even rhymed the whole thing. You absolutely deserved to win and congratulations. Penelope

You deserve to win this contest just for giving this a go! You've done a brilliant job of it as well, I thought every line read well and didn't seem forced or contrived in order to fit the pattern. A fantastic effort!

Yep, you choose the longest word then you just have to sit tight and keep going. This is terrific in no small way. You created a masterpiece. One gets the impression that you started off in good spirit and then curled around in your seat around the middle and were chewing the last of your fingernails at the end.
Well penned. regards jada

Oh, insanity it was! And the result is BRILLIANCE!
Oh, my gosh! What were you thinking, Helvi? haha
This exhausts me just THINKING about tackling such an atrocious word. LOL
Standing ovation!
Bravo!
You can put away that straight-jacket... LOL... you won't be needing it. You've done a fabulous job!
I loved every line, but especially:
Oblivious to my own fate, I didn't look ahead.
Careless by my own accords, my hopes have slipped to dread.
I'm in awe at your diligence to attack that word! LOL
I really enjoyed this poem
*SMILES*

Helvi2, actually this was quite entertaining. I do not know how you manged to pull it off, but you did. You also manged a rhyme scheme to boot. Salute to the poet's brain and hand. jlsavell

Smiling, yes i was. where did you find the words? Loved it. Amusing, funny, lyrical and gee...haven't we all felt that was one time or another? Great.

Helvi, I thought this was a fine acrostic, very creative. I really liked it, and the way you highlighted the first letter to make it apparent that the poem was an acrostic. Just one suggestion: I think that headfirst is one word; you have it as two (I could be wrong, I don't have my dictionary by my side). But I think it's one word.
Great poem! Thanks for sharing and good luck.
Yours,
Luna *smile*

Great job at a type of poem that is not easy to write. I think your poem says alot about a writers life. Good luck in the contest.

LOL A very clever and witty poem. You outdid yourself in the last three lines, by the way.
Great poem. I don't know how you did it, but I take my hat off to you! Well done. Nothing to correct here.
