Comment from Jesse James Doty
This is well done. The presentation sets it aside from the other acrostics. Your style is excellent and the rhymes are very creative. I notice you repeat the first line in each verse in succession of the first line, second line, third line and ending with the last line. This is effective and most conceivably, hard to do. You put a lot of effort into this poem and it shows. Well written, with a great review of why we poets write as we do.
Take care, Jesse

Thank you for the fantastic review and for noticing how much work actually went into this. Just coming up with the four words to use for the acrostic, so the e fell in the correct order, was quite a task. I really appreciate the generous stars, friend. I'm glad you liked the piece. Have a great rest of your weekend.

Comment from brenda bickers
Hi There,
What a refreshing piece of writing. A proper poem with good meter, perfect rhyming and excellent presentation. The acrostic is hard enough to do but you have chosen to repeat the first line in each of your stanzas. What a well thought out work of art.
Sorry I have no sixes. Good luck in the contest.

This is an excellent acrostic poem. Your cascading line was well chosen/created.
You have a good flow to the poem.
I love your artwork.
What a nice tribute to the poets of Fanstory.

Comment from Sally Law
Ah, I wish I were that talented, I have a good eye for art so to speak, it just what button to push. Good grief. These things are not made for the sight impaired. LOL.
A fine offering, dear Joan, and such a sweet one for the contest. I feel better about my poetry already.
My best wishes for the contest.

Comment from LyndaS
This is quite the production, Mr. Skulls! First, this artwork you created for this entry grabs you visually immediately. Second, this acrostic is really well done. Dropping the first line throughout these stanzas is amazing. What work!! And in iambic meter to boot. Finally, it's about all of us. You have nailed the soul of every member here. Really well done, sir. Good luck with the committee. Outstanding!!!! Lynda

Comment from Pantygynt
I cannot remember when I have regretted more not having a six, because this is magnificent. Not only do we have an acrostic over sixteen lines, but we also have a perfectly maintained metre (iambic pentameter) rhyme scheme of alternate rhyme (abab etc.). That alone would probably merit six stars but there is more, as this is in the quaterne format that requires a repeated line to cascade down through each quatrain.
This must have taken a lot of thought and planning. This really does deserve to win and I so hope it does.

One of the hardest things was just to come up with the four words to use as an acrostic, where the e would fall in place. Lol. Thank you, Pantygynt. I really do appreciate it.

Comment from CrystieCookie999
This is a very inclusive tribute poem. In fact, I think Fanstory management could use it for marketing. I like this line: Diversity enriches expertise.
Thank you bunches for sharing.

Comment from Roxanna Andrews
Dear Mr. Dragon Skulls,
Great job with this acrostic and also a loop poem. We do have many talented poets on the site. I just write funny, silly poems. There isn't even a category for them. =] Hope you do well in the contest. Rox

Thank you for the great review, Roxanna. Yeah, that's nearly all I write on here myself, silly stuff. Sometimes I step on the serious side but not too often. Lol. I appreciate the review and stars, R. I'm glad you liked the piece. Have a great weekend.
