Got an Amen from me, and I'm a republican, ha ha.
This is so totally twisted, I just love it.
Hope you win. You should, just for originality!
Loved this,
blessings...

Thank you for the awesome review and big sixer, Judy. That line was actually meant the other way around. I'm a republican, too and if they don't like it, too bad. The contest is already over and it didn't do that well but what can you do? lol. I really appreciate the generous stars. I'm glad you liked this ridiculous piece. Thank you again.

Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
This is very clever. I am just envious of you for managing to come up with the coherent 1-8 acrostic title never mind trying to fill it in. Much enjoyed. Kate xx

Thank you for the fantastic review, Kate. Yeah, figuring out the title was the hardest part of this. Lol. I really appreciate the gracious stars. I'm glad you liked this silliness.

Comment from Bill Schott
This acrostic poem, I AM NOT SURE..., follows the vertical, first-letter theme and explains lack of concept and ad hoc delivery of the stated work. Fun.

Comment from C2
Amen! What a fantastic, sarcastic send-up to this often poorly executed form. You had me cringing in places and in others laughing out louds. If a poem can do that it's a success in my book. Later today, when I remove my bottle of Kettle One from the freezer and pour it over ice to make my favored Sea Breeze, I will whisper a toast to Dragon Skulls and to the sad, fat Steven Seagal.
Well done!

Haha. Thank you for the fantastic review, C2. I'm sure Steve will appreciate it too. Lol. I was just in one of those ridiculous moods and went with it. I really appreciate the generous stars. I'm glad you liked this silliness. Have yourself a great day, friend.

Comment from Tom Horonzy
I truly thought 13th had won this as I kept track the two weeks it was posted but adding an acrostic theme to the challenge is simply marvelous even with so little meaning. Great job!

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
An unusual and clever acrostic and I haven't written one of these in ages. It sounds like this drunken poet threw everything into this poem and hoped for the best, you made me smile here, love Dolly x

Comment from GARY MACLEAN
Amen! You were wrong. I loved it. This is a classic example of why the TV show Seinfeld worked; it's something about nothing but yet I was entertained.
Very good

Comment from Wendy G
I made it to the end, and so did you. I like your style! It's humorous, and brings a good laugh. And removes the tendency to take life and poetry and all else too seriously! Well done. Next I want see an abcedarian ( or whatever it's called!) from you. You'll probably need another bottle of vodka! Lol.

Lol. I can't figure out a good word to use for 'x.' That's why I don't enter those contests. Haha. Thank you for the great review, Wendy. I'm glad you liked this silliness.

Comment from Whitewave
Yes, I'll willingly shout an 'Amen' for you and your clever, never-ending acrostic. Even though it didn't work for you, I really like the A,B,O,U lines.
Time to top up on another vodka!

Comment from Gloria ....
I got a real charge out of your acrostic many different poetic forms here. I especially liked the part about Steven Seagal and how the sunrise glowing on the eastern horizon had added a bit of bulk to his frame. Sometimes the sun can be fattening.
The metre works very well and in total chaos I must say I hope you do excruciatingly well with the voters with your creative double challenge.
What great fun!
