    The acrostic message is clear enough, but it is somewhat lost in the contrivances of the anagrams. Instead of thinking about poetry as the shaping of the heart's vision, I find myself laboring over the syntax of lines enslaved to anagrams.
    Traditionally, acrostics and anagrams were meant to be discovered rather than simply handed over already solved and detailed. How would this poem be received on its merits of content and form without the author's color coded notes? These take from the reader the fun which might have been had in noticing and searching out the puzzles of wordplay. It is as if the writer fears to leave deciphering the acrostic and anagrams and judgment of the poetic quality to the astuteness of the reader.
    I would like to come across something in this genre from this accomplished writer another time, but without the clues as to what to expect. I believe he would surprise and delight me with his word puzzles if he did not include the answers on the same page.

    He's Done It Again!

    OMG! You are amazing! I actually did an anagram poem the other week. I had never heard of an anagram poem and thought of the idea all on my own. I should have known you would have beat me to it. lol. But my poem was one word only, anagramed into a dozen variations. Each line was just the one of these anagramed words and when put together created a humorous piece.

    This poem has the many levels of wordplay texture that you are noted for. Acrostic, anagrams and monorhyme. The colours help to distinguish the weave which I think is the best way to display them.

    The subject is well thought. My only critique would be the complexity of the internal form, makes this a bit hard to digest the meaning at first. But that might not be a bad thing, I think poems do well to beg analysis.

    WOW! This isn't easily accomplished. I am astounded at the wway you have mastered all of these types of poetry. I had to read it twice to take it all in. It was clever and risky. I really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing this in my contest and good luck.

    This requires a lot of thought in reading...though it is very clever. I would certainly consider this a "poetic experiement" that was successful!

    --A wonderful conclusion...

    I think I shall have to come back to this piece a few times in order to allow the entirety of it to sink in!

    Takes some doing to get this just right - not the easiest creation to put together and have it come out in the end. Clever seems to be the popular word regarding this write. Well done - so m uch to keep track of.

    Cleverly done

    I agree with the comment of clever. I haven't read many acrostics, and you seemed to do it well.

    VERY INGENIOUS

    But as a poetic piece I failed to appreciate, it is very baffling. The author cannot be blamed for the contest requirements must have forced his pen. Any way instead of 'genius' what I find here is cleverness and it must be admitted that that cleverness is of a very high order.

    COMMENT TO ADD TO NOTES

    As this has been formatted in rich type I am unable to edit notes as not currently golden member

    GREEN corresponds to external acrostic
    while the phrase "ALL mirrors ALL in different guise" could have been added to the title

    CRIMSON corresponds to the wish to underline the key phrase
    I AM AIM to WE IS - WISE


    BLACK corresponds to two anagrams present
    as in BEYOND
    YE BOND
    PURPLE corresponds to three anagrams present
    REACT,
    TRACE
    CATER
    ... or

    ... or

    POLEMICS,
    COMPLIES
    COMPILES

    There are a few formatting errors
    ONE is anagram for NEO should be BLACK not BLUE
    and the PURPLE is used in the anagram GAME MAGE as it serves as introduction for the anagrams
    IN GAME
    ENIGMA
    IN A GEM

    You are most definitely a wordsmith.. I haven't written an acrostic, or woven in quite some time.. but I do so love patterns .. and things that make one work.

    This type of poetry intrigues me greatly. I have written shorter poems using a name such as the Acrostic. It is the first time I have read a poem that incorporates an entire sentence, talk about challenges, wow!

    I am going to try my hand at this form, when the time finds me an open window that is.

    You are one of my favorites,
    incredible work.
