This is a lovely poem. However, I do not see an acrostic here what is their acrostic? I wish you a very merry Christmas and I wish you well and all over your writing. Have a good day and God bless. Patric.o

Hi, Pat. Thanks for your feedback. The acrostic was YOUSPOTTEDMYACROSTIC. :)

We think we know better than the youth, but the truth is we are all still learning and sometimes the youth come up with something we never thought of. I learn from my Grandchildren who teach me to view the world a very different way to how I was brought up. I think we fumble through life and just hope we see the light. Poetry records our plight, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Thank you, Dolly. I think you're absolutely right. If ever there's a day when we think we have all the answers, that's the day we should realise we're deluded and stop writing. :)

In other words, there are words within words within worlds within worlds. By the way, I spotted your acrostic! Now

Navada, you are deserving of the praise of many poems!

Hi Navada,
This is a well done acrostic ode to poets. I like all the alliteration you used throughout your poem.
Yes, we are all looking for answers to mysteries of life and religion. Maybe we do find some answers. But that is not really our job. We do sometimes create our own fantasy worlds.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Good luck in the contest.
Happy Holidays.
Joan

Navada, this is wonderful acrostic poetry and with a splash of alliteration thrown for good measure. Pensive poet's inkwell and ... Creating worlds within worlds wherever we wield our wonderful words. Good heavens, my tongue is twisted!

Marvelous musings and so wonderfully written from your prolific pen. ;))

Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the upcoming contest.

Good

Hi Navada,
I just love Acrostic poems...and, writing them... I wish I had known about Acrostic poems when I was a child...
I do have a question... What word did you use for the acrostic?
Needs to be the word and the first letter of the word....for each line...
I love your thoughts but....
I love the image...So perfect

My understanding is that it's the first letter of each line.

Yes, I just love it that you chose the word Acrostic to use as your word...

I thought this was a really interesting piece and I enjoyed reading it. I think we are constantly asking questions, and some of those questions, we will never know the answers to. A well written piece. Good luck in the contest.

Thanks, Jacob - I had fun writing this one! :)

Lovely idea. Hiding the acrostic neatly inside the poem about poetry and its mysteries. Such a clever ruse. Well written and full of metaphor which, for me, is what poetry should be. x

Oh that was so clever, flowing so very smoothly that I didn't recognise it as an acrostic. Of course when I saw it in the acrostic contest I had to look back to see - what good fun! Love the alliteration, reaching a clever climax in the concluding line!

Hah! Now there's a clever acrostic. And to think it only took me four times reading down to get it right! I kept making "YOUS" the first word, what can I say? Rocking acrostic. With a poem that has power depth and meaning! Win the contest! Karenina

Thank you so much for your unfailing kindness! The joy of having to read it a few times obviously was the light bulb moment when you finally found it. You're welcome! :)

Yes! I loved that!
