Cascading diamond waterfalls
Astonishing prisms of light
Structured so magnificently
There poised in mid twilight
Luminous grandeur walls
Eclipsing the brilliant sky
Scattered foliage surrounding
Impelling imaginations to pry
Nestled near the heavens
This monument so fair
Harboring mystical knowledge
Enchantments ever so rare
Soft surrounding melodies
Keeping the secrets held inside
Yielding minds into a trance, for all memories to confide

Since I love Acrostics, you know I liked this. Again, the background is lovely. I love your use of words. icely done.
~~~POO~~~ -
The background and the picture really enhance this enchanting write...it reads as if out of a fairytale and makes one wish there was a place such as this to escape to...but maybe we can in our dreams eh
? lovely work with perfect diction and flow

I think you have made the picture come alive with your fantastic words. This was a stunning write. Definitely the soul of a poet. A pleasure.

The bg and image u used seem to overwhelm your poem.. good luck in the contest..
-
Beautiful picture, but an even more beautiful acrostic. And not an easy acrostic at that. Talent galore....
-
Thankyou
-
I am speechless!! This is beautiful and the picture you chose I am in love with, This flowed so well I didn't think at first I was reading an acrostic, that is how well it flowed because when some people write one there are sudden breaks but with you, You kept the flow going, that is very hard to do, Especially with those tricky letters, You have made this look very easy!! What a masterpiece you have here!!

Awesome job with this one. Its a great piece and it all flows so well. If you didnt have the letters starred, I would not have known it was an acrostic. Awesome job with this. Great write and even better read.

Another beautiful poem..as an entry for a captivating contest. I love acrostics...for I write them myself as well...yet I have not had the chance to capture such a lovely picture in one of mine. You have created a soft, lovely flowing acrostic..to capture this beautiful picture indeed.
Good luck...

Why thankyou ma'dear And don't worry...I've been slacking a bit on the commenting also...so you have no reason to fret...I won't come after you! hehe
I'm glad you like this....yes, I love acrostics...when I saw this picture it just came naturally to me to write it in this form Thanx for reading!
Hope you are doing well
Take Care

Hey, stranger! Long time no see!
I looked at the picture for this contest and it is absolutely breathtaking...I think that your poem is about the closest to doing it justice! You are wonderful with acrostics, I don't practice them enough to be any good (maybe one of these days, I'll remedy that). You give an ethereal touch to an already fantastic picture. I also like how you managed to keep a rhyme scheme and beat even though you had an odd number of lines to work with! I will have to try and swing by more often... I have been slacking off with my commenting, don't kill me
Wishing you the best of luck in the contest...
Many blessings,
Raven Aurora
