Everlastingly painfully raw
Makes us want to experience more.
Opens our heartstrings
The emotional love we feel.
Inviting exciting emotions
Only to hurt once more.
Never again we always say
Alas, what do we do!
Love with our hearts, not our heads.

I like this poem very much.. The nice picture goes so well with the beauty of this poem.. You do possess sucha poetic heart and the skills of a honest poet...
-
Oh so often we could do with replacing an occasional string there Joan, but sadly we can’t unless as you say, we try to clear the mind and use the heart. Very sweet a thought you entertain here. Huggers.

angelica,Emotional is a very good acrostic(is that what you call it?)I like anything about love.Love is the the one thing that is common all over the world, without love there is nothing.Beautiful words in writing.Sally

Thank you Bec for your wonderful comment on Emotional. I only just came across your comment as I was checking the poems,sometimes they get missed but I like to reply so whoever comments knows I have read it and I do appreciate it~angelica~

Well done on fitting the perfect words into such a clever format. I tried this myself (with a much more depressing poem called Disenchanted) and it is a hard form of poetry to write.
I found this positive and sweet and a pleasure to read.
Thanks for sharing.
Along with my praise I am sending my applause, and a smile...

Well written!! Beautiful!
Joan,
Extremely beautiful. I was going to say (before I read the last line) that it was very sad... but then you said love with your heart! Now that is just beautiful! Everyone should do that. Words spoked truly and wisely. The flow of this acrostic was uplifting!! Well written and said my dear friend.
Writing is good for the heart and soul.
Sincerely,
Nelak
BRAVO, JOAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NIce acrosstic! Very well done! Val

So So true even though it hurts us so many times we always just get back up on that horse and go for another ride. Not sure why. This was a lovely Acrostic poem and the picture just makes your heart warm up from the start. Good Luck in the contest and Congradulations on a grest poem,

J oan is such a sweet and emotionally loving person
O pen and free always following her heart
A ngelic touch travels through cyber space to us poets
N othing will stop her in life from being a helpful part
-
I love your Acrostic here and your words are so true. Just when we think we have control over our hearts they let us know who is really boss no matter how much steal we use to try and guard them. I guess the heart is stronger than the brain. I absolutely adore your little kittens here.
-
Never seems to always come sooner than we think.
This is great write and acrostic.

Hi. Nice little short poem. I like the acrostic, but i think that you force your words to fit in with the acrostic, and so i don't think the emotion comes across as well as it could do.
However, i do think that you do have a message to convey, and you do that quite well in such a few lines.
Thanks for entering my contest. Good luck. XXX -
Thank you my sweet friend,it's good to be back home again and talking to you again,I have missed you sooo much~love you my friend and sister~Joan~
-
Hahahaha! How true, how true. My first love hurt me so, and then the next and boy you could just have men, I thought, but guess, what? If I hadn't tried my hand at love a few more times, I may not have met Ray, and boy would I have missed out. Great write Joan, I love acrostics and you are getting better and better at writing them. Glad to see you back on the keyboard my sister, real glad. Good luck with the contest!
Always,
Renee
