A very nice poem with a lovely topic to it. We all need friendship. There is truly nothing better than having some good friends. Good luck in the contest!

This is an excellent example of a very difficult style. I would never attempt it, but you make it look easy. Your lines flow perfectly. Nothing seems forced.

This seems like a good contest entry. I've never written a acrostic-loop poem, I'll have to give it a tryâ?¼•¸?.I also like the theme of your poem, that being what friendship can bring you in life. Good luck in the contest, thanks for sharing.

Great Arcrostic poem with the loop linking each line by the first and last word. I haven't seen this done and would love to have a try. Well done, great use of vocabulary and the matching words too. Well done PM

Nicely written. I believe you need friendship to truly survive inside. Friendship keeps your soul alive. When you don't have anyone to share your darkest secrets with it can kill something inside you. Thank you for sharing and best wishes in the contest

Good Morning, Mystery Author
I thought of the quote, "No man is an island", as I read your poem. You have chosen a terrific picture to accompany your entry, by the way.
Human beings don't thrive if isolated from others. John Donne was a Christian but this idea is shared by other religions too.
"No man is an island" is a quotation from John Donne (1572-1631).
"All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated...As therefore the bell that rings to a sermon, calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation to come: so this bell calls us all: but how much more me, who am brought so near the door by this sickness....No man is an island, entire of itself...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."
Your combination of loop poetry and the acrostic form works very well. And your closing statement sums up the theme, that "People crave friendship". It's true. we need each other.
I worked at Moosehead Breweries for 39 years. Many of us (retirees) gather various mornings at Tim Horton's for coffee and chit-chat. We need to see each other after so many years together.
Nicely penned! Good Luck in the contest!
cheers

I read your poem more than once. Reading it quickly, to me, your poem didn't make much sense. I read it slowly and savored each line, and found your poem, touching. It could flow better, but as a whole it is a good poem.

You did a wonderful job with the challenge that was presented to you. Well chosen words are excellent. The theme is strong. Your feelings are expressed well. Your arrangement looks very nice. The flow is smooth. I wish you the best in the contest.
There was no SPAG. No typos. No homophones. No problems at all.
I look forward to seeing you again.
Love you,
Oatmeal

Kahpot, this is an interesting Acrostic Loop. I've never seen one done like this before. People do, indeed, crave friendship. It is what makes us human and happier within ourselves. I love the picture you have chosen to represent this piece. It is beautiful and peaceful. Great job! ~DD
