I usually cringe when I see an acrostic done, but this was done wonderfully well. It was simple without being simplistic, and managed to convey everything that a longer poem would have needed many more words to do.
Really enjoyed it. Best of luck! -
S'marvellous. Mr. Brown sounds hot...I mean....nice.....Yes....nice...
-
Lol, yeah I guess I did forget to mention the teachers name but actually it was my Grade 8 teacher. Very nice, humorous teacher.And thanks to everyone for commenting!!

I love such a positive, upbeat attitude. I admit I had to smile Great form and outlook. Very much enjoyed

An acrostic, woohoo. Well written and with a sense of humour. Now, about those unruley acts hmmmm......
Good luck in this contest, dave.

Fabulous! I loved this cute lil acrostic, and it mostly rhymed too - impressive! it's often very hard to make these rhyme.
This had a lovely light heartedness to it
Good luck and thanks for entering

Wonderfully done! Although I shudder when people center acrostics because at times it makes them hard to read, this one was easy to understand. the meaning and overall feel is effective in showing how teachers can influence on so many levels.
Welcome to Allpoetry and good luck with the contest
-
Our first acrostic in this contest - well done.
By the mere fact that no name is mentioned is this perhaps a blanker overview of all of your teachers?
I like it very much regardless. Welcome to AP

Unique!
Heheh. Clever! You took a different route than most, but it is in the door at least. Y ou gave all the reasons without mentioning a name, but then that's alright!
I happen to think the construction of this one is one of the better ones. Acrostics are nearly always flexible to do anyting.
The ending couplet is effective as well.
I wish you the best...Thank you so much for entering.....and have a good time reading others here at AllPoetry. Warmly, CookieZeal
