This acrostic poem describes all the features of an elicit tryst in each line and does so by still using the acrostic structure. Very nicely done! There is a little bit of end rhyme in some lines, and some alliteration in Lines 1, 2, and 5.

Well done! It kind of takes the "romance" out of illicit love, but not in a "preachy" way, but rather, with a this-is-the-reality-Does-it-really-seem-APPEALING? vibe, which I think is great.

I haven't read all the entries, but so far this is the one that's getting my vote.
Good luck in the polls. xo

I enjoyed reading your Acrostic poem. It flows well with an interesting message of keeping secret affairs secret. Your artwork choice is interesting, and it enhances your message. Good luck in the contest. Best wishes!

This poem has the correct form for an acrostic and generally reads well. I don't quite get the bit about walls melting away but the rest is well crafted. Good luck with it

You've captured many elements of an affair from the perspective of someone involved in the deception. I can imagine there is a delight in the surreptitious nature of it, but I struggle to get past the impact an affair has on those who are betrayed in the process.
