B rimming with books, my bookshelf stands,
O rderly and well stacked by my little hands!
O f Course there's Rowling, apart from Twain and Dale,
K nack all have, to tell a wonderful tale!
S chool- books are surely inevitable for me,
H orrid though it may seem to be!
E ntertaining books lead me to a world of fantasy,
L oneliness is soon turned into ecstasy.
F illing me with such a pleasure,
their worth to me is without measure!

First acrostic? Hey, that's really good! I like how you don't just go into detail about your bookshelf, but rather the authors it holds and what kinds of books, &c. Again, that was great for a first!

I love this piece, my only niggle is that there is that extra line for rhyme sake, but apart from that it was witty and great to read

Bookshelves are the most treasured ones for all those who write and read. This poem, Madhu is excellently carved and has master class description. It is very rare to see a poet to choose this novel background for our poem. Keep writing dear friend. I love this. I would be happy, if you could stamp your impressions on my poems.

Very neat and congrats on the trophy. A sweet and simple idea, but not so simple with the acrostic added. Good touch!
I love seeing rhyming acrostics. -

This is amazing, especially considering it's your first acrostic! Very impressive how you made it an acrostic and was able to rhyme nicely as well. Thanks for sharing.

There does seem to be a consistent improvement with your work, Madhumita.
The rhythm gets a bit odd at times due to some wordiness; those extra "to"s and "is"s and "it"s can kind of congest the language at times.
But that's it. Great job with your first acrostic. And thanks for sharing.

This is pretty good, especially for your first acrostic. Is was a little weird that the last line wasn't part of the hidden message, but it still worked pretty good. I liked how you worked in some author's names. This piece actually reminded me of my little sister. She's quite the bookworm, and loves escaping into the alternate worlds.
-
Thank You very much, that was really sweet of you to help.
Will surely inform you when the result is out!
Madhumita -
A wonderful write indeed, especially as this is your first acrostic. You have loads of talent here
Good luck in the contest and let me know how you do

I LOVE to read acrostics.. they are simply fascinating.. if you like to read acrostics too, then try rading "JENELDA" her acrostics are wonderful . Infact I was so much in love with her acrostics that my first ever acrostic was dedicated to her.
I especially love acrostic more when they rhyme.. yes you did a splendid job with rhyming... i am fan of rhyming poems, proper rhyming poems ...
I think in the following line
H orrid though it my seem to be!
shouldn'e it be "MAY" instead of "MY"?
If not then my apologies, but I couldn't make out sense by keeping it like it is.
Well, you should keep on making acrostics
I think i read enough of your works.. 5-6 i guess... I wont disturb you anymore with my terrible comments..I hope you got what you wanted from me ... enjoy!!
take cares and have a nice time my dear friend.. just keep it up... your humble little friend..
