Passing me by;
each one intent
on a different thing or
place or time. I have to
laugh at the absurdity,
even as I cry.
Author notes
I haven't written an acrostic in years. I forgot how fun they are...but they're also suc a pain!

Thank you for entering my short poems contest. You are correct that the acrostic is not as easy to write as you think it would be.

Congratulations on your winning trophies!
You seem to have a solid understanding of the true motives of humanity, Pandora. This acrostic is one of the most interesting and innovative pieces that I've seen yet. I believe your muse is wonderfully creative, and on the plus side, you've chosen an interesting topic that most "people" can relate to. Great job!!! Peace, Cyn

I know the feeling. Sometimes it's better to laugh at the ridiculousness of it all. Thanks for entering and good luck!

There were some powerful emotions here. I can really connect to what you are saying. Good luck in the contest!
-
Very perceptive and unfortunately very true and well put.

Okay, that was really cool. Depressing, but cool. I like how you've taken the acrostic, which is you know, a kiddie style, and made it ... older. Sustained an idea across the lines.
Totally awesome.
I just fffffffailed mathematiques. And am in the school library right now. Zorz/lol.
