An Acrostic that will surprise some....51 total reviews
Comment from Dorothy Farrell
Hi anon, could be misinterpreted, or misled by your pre-note before your title, but it became very clear to me that it was a lovely 32' yacht you were talking about - somewhat more than a toy. Very clever descriptive acrostic. Could have been easily misinterpreted till your notes were read. Regards Dorothy x

Yes thank you enjoy your holiday!
Comment from ExperiencingLiphe
An ending I wasn't expecting but it was perfect. The water is certainly something that can all the stress melt away and make us have peace with everything. Great job.

Thank you

You use lots of good imagery here.
I have to confess, I'm not certain exactly what the subject of this poem is. We cannot buy a person, or a bridge.

We can buy a sailboat as mentioned in the notes, which is commonly called a she, "spellbound" was her name.
Comment from Jacob David Collins
I thought this was very creative and well written. I loved your description and it drew me into your writing. This was very well told, and I enjoyed reading it. Good luck in the contest!

You definitely have an acrostic poem here. My only question is, when you speak of "buying her", are you talking about a boat or a lady of the evening? Your words did flow well and I found the writing somewhat romantic. Best wishes.

Hi!
Your poem is interesting. I was very confused at first. "Beam"? I thought, "What is he talking about?"
Then I thought for sure you were talking about a woman, and I thought you used the word "buoyantly" to mean a voluptuous woman. By the last line, I was pretty sure you were talking about a boat. But it also could have been a woman still? No, for sure, its about a boat.
This is a cute acrostic. Is your boat called "Spellbound"?

Yes, I named her Spellbound. That's what I was when I first laid my eyes on her. I was having a little fun with this one.
Comment from Ogden
Anonymous author, your poem has a disappointing ending. It seems that you might have found yourself a femme fatale. Were you on a budget, or what?

Oh but Don, Spellbound teased like her meant it!
Comment from dragonpoet
This ironic acrostic sound like a love poem for a girl but it is for a boat which is always femine in gender.
Good luck in the contest
Keep writing and stay healthy.

Comment from nomi338
A very clever way of describing a man's falling in love at first sight, acting on it to dig deep into his pocket to pay for the privilege. Of course he was talking about a boat and not a woman, a fact not immediately disclosed. One who only scans material and does not fully comprehend what he reads might easily at first misunderstand.

Dear Nomi, my dear friend, may this Memorial weekend provide you and yours an opportunity to reflect with fondness and loving kindness on those loved ones who are waiting patiently for your turn to be resting with them in the great beyond! Jim
Comment from Sally Law
So, you just could resist her, aye? A fun one with a twist. Living near the Florida shore, I know exactly what you're talking about. We all love our boats here.
Sending you my best today as always, and my very best for the contest,
Sally ;))
