Waterfall



We love the
...Ambiance of
......The water fall
...........Every time we
..............Run by the
..................Falls we
.....................Ask if the
.........................Luster is
.............................Love

    Great poem! I like how well everything on the page flows together to create unity of motion. Waterfalls are one of the most breathtaking forces in nature. You have captire its essence well...

    very creative... very nicely done!

    I like how each line is begins a little further out than the preceding line giving the illusion of a waterfall! very aesthetically pleasing!

    I've written acrostics before
    and somehow .. i do enjoy writing them
    but having this waterfall form also
    adds an extra effect to this poem
    you really do good for teaching poetry
    i just wonder who created acrostics in the first place

    I love waterfalls. We make several day trips each year to waterfalls in the area. This year, we discovered Moxie Falls, which is several cascades of 40 to 60 foot drops. The power of the water is phenomenal! It was awe inspiring. There are several waterfalls of over 100 foot drops within a 2 hour ride. Your poem captures the feeling of awe quite wonderfully.

    roves for the droves

    Amera (like a discoverer?),

    "Waterfall" has the dotting out of a cascadence, with briefer lines at the descriptable than I've usually seen in acrostics but it succesfully writable of the rollings to move on to the fast words like :
    "...........Every time we
    ..............Run by the
    ..................Falls we"
    by which a cadence is even found to be pondering :
    ".....................Ask if the
    .........................Luster is
    .............................Love"
    the over and over that isn't overamplified but pleasing we want to amply look into.

    Just one question on why "The water fall" is split within the piece, unlike the title -- is this to emphasize the splashes when up close and not summarized as a distant sheet when away from brochurable pictures?

      thank you

      Amera = Eternal
      Eileithyia = Goddess of birth

      I actually split the word to improve the symmetry of the piece making it look like a waterfall. Good critique, thank you.
