This is a well done mix of two forms, the accrostic and the Shakespearean soonnet. It shows the passion, romance, and love in this relationship. Eyes are the true mirror to emotional state.
Congrats on placing second in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

Congratulations on your win. Very beautiful acrostic poem. I don't have 6 stars to give you, but I would like to. I love the words that you've chosen: enchanting, enticing, embracing. Very good work.

Lovely and elegant; fresh phrasing in flawless rhythm and rhyme. I never would have guessed this was acrostic--there's not a false note, no tell-tale forcing to fit. Congrats on a well-deserved prize. Cheers. LIZ

    Thank you for allowing me to contact you if I need help, I will have it in mind, since there are some things that I can not understand due to the fact that it is not my mother tongue.. Thanks a lot

I really enjoyed this Acrostic. I had great problems picking my favourite line, but I think it's "Enchanting is her gaze, but wanting more,"
Please consider:
"Enticing are her treasurers to explore" I have a horrible feeling that this would be better as "treasures"

    Thank you for the fantastic review, Katherine. I can't believe how many times I've read over this that I didn't catch this myself. Out of all my reviews you are the only one to mention this. Thank you so much for catching that. I went and fixed it. I appreciate the gracious stars and help. Have a wonderful day and thank you again.

Well, Ron, this one is simply beautiful - a sonnet that speaks of the allure of the female and what her touch can do to a man... and it all starts with those eyes of blue. Even your rhythm and rhyme entices your reader from beginning to end, sir -- and the fact that it's a sonnet...? You've earned these stars and more... CAPTIVATING! ;) :) Best of luck in the contest (not that I think you'll need it!) :) :) Yvette

Hi Ron, what a lovely love poem... and an Acrostic Sonnet! I have enough trouble with a regular Sonnet, but to add an Acrostic restriction is just a little superlative and show-offy if you ask me... LOL Very well done dear... kudos! :)

    Lol. Yeah, I like to show off sometimes. Thank you so much for the kind review and giant sixer, Susan. I just like to give myself a little more of a challenge when it comes to sonnets. I love the form. I really appreciate the gracious stars, Susan. I'm glad you liked the piece. Have a great day.

This deserves six stars. Sorry, I don't have any. A Sonnet and an Acrostic poem would not be the easiest of compositions. This is a splendid lilting Sonnet with beautiful meaningful words, so well done.

Wow, you tackled a daunting task for this entry in the Love Poem contest. An acrostic sonnet! And you used it to pen a beautiful, romantic poem filled with lovely imagery. Great presentation as always :) Good luck in the contest.

Dear dragon, this post deserves a six star rating for craftsmanship alone! Even I can see three places where lists of proffered love abide.
How long did it take you to ready this work for release?

    Hey, Suzanna, hello. I dearly appreciate the gracious sixer and kind words. It took me a few hour. I worked on it for two days but only about 2 hours each day. I love writing sonnets and I like challenging myself a bit more by making them acrostics as well. I really appreciate the gracious stars, Suzanna. I'm glad you liked the piece. Have a wonderful night.
