I think you made a darn good fist of this, but it's true that acrostics were a little more challenging once, I even rhymed them, now I don't write any atall, and I like your multi themed acrostic, it was educational, beautifully written, blessings Roy

    Thank you for the great review, Roy. Yeah, I use to actually write acrostic sonnets. It's been a long time though. I appreciate the generous stars, friend. I'm glad you liked this silly piece. Have a great rest of your weekend.

Amen. :) You did it and it's funny. A great reminder that everything doesn't have to be so self importantly serious, especially when it comes to poetry or acrostic. Good luck with the contest.

I must admit I laughed aloud while reading your acrostic poem. I can't write them, even as a joke. I admire this one. It was funny. Thanks for sharing!

The objective correlative of your work reminisces a protagonist, who "is not sure about training another acrostic."

The work highlights his resolution on the matter etched out in the form of an acrostic poem.

The work earns its texture through its strict compliance with the acrostic poetic format specified for the contest.

Excellent work. Bravo.

This work has reached the exceptional level

AMEN!!! Hahahaha!!! This was retarded and glorious, dude. I love how you fly in from left field with no idea at all how you're going to do this and deliver a ridiculous masterpiece. Above that, you can't deny the poet in you and throw some of that in as well. Your basic acrostic is very clever and it applies to the whole piece. This will be hard to beat. I'm sure it took a lot of time to do this and IT IS GREAT!!! Very well done and go have another shot. I'm a few in myself. Awesome!! Lynda

    Hahaha. I'm sure I will. My weekend is finally here. I came up with this dumb title and that was about it. I really had nowhere to go from that. Haha. I had to throw a little bit of craftsmanship in there so the whole thing wasn't just me crying about no subject. Lol. Yes, it took a good bit of time to pull off but I had fun. Thank you so much for the awesome review and giant sixer, Lynda. I hope you have a fantastic rest of your weekend and thank you again.

This is hilarious! You had so much fun with this acrostic that my enjoyment never wavered even though it got ridiculous and silly. I laughed out loud and had a thoroughly good time. Good luck with this contest, you certainly deserve to win!

Oh, the magic of a double vodka! It could even make a poet out of Putin. I thought it was great fun and I usually have a great dislike of acrostic poetry.

In the interests of gently flowing euphony I would suggest that the more correct accusative form, 'whom' should be used here:

'If only she might love (who) [whom] he became.'

    Ahh, great advice, my friend. I'll go change that right now. I can never seem to get that right between the two. Thank you for the great review and for getting me on the right track, Pantygynt. I'm glad you liked this ridiculous piece. Have yourself a great day.
