A contest for this type of poem
Causes my mind to start to roam.
Rummaging around for a suitable word.
Only one subject is heard.
So here I sit at my little machine
Typing out words across the screen.
I hope you think it was worth your time.
Considering the results is only an eight line rhyme.
Author notes
An acrostic of ACROSTIC.
I read a few of yours and commented on Deja Vu.
I commented on Reckless Abandonment, Agitation and Love from the competition poems.

That's a fine compliment Scarzat.
Although I am always happy for readers to visit and revisit don't tie yourself to one author.. look around .. there are some great ones about.

I was talking about the rhyme scheme. That isn't why you didn't get chosen by the way. You were very creative, and this was well done. And I didn't ask for a perfect acrostic. I gave an example of what I was talking about. The outside definition doesn't matter. If you care to know, you didn't win because they were a bit more creative and pushed the boundaries. I know I didn't explicitly state that, and maybe that was my bad. If I had had points left, I woulda done runners up, and yours definetly woulda been in there. And I'm not just being diplomatic.

Not a fan of this style???
At the risk of sounding petulant, if you didn't wan't an acrostic why ask for one in your contest?
I used the correct definition

Unlike the two examples given in the rules and the silver winner.
However it IS your competition so your judgement is the one that counts.

Great idea. It's original. But... I don't know. Not a fan of this style. Very well done however, and I'll try not to let my prejudice come into play during judging.
