Comment from Beverly A McBride
I love an acrostic poems. Haven't seen one as sonnet before. This one is very clever and topical--I like the last 4 lines. Good job. Good luck on the contest.

Fortunetelling (acrostic sonnet)
Hello, anonymous,
I love gypsies. I didn't know their wagons are called Vardo. This is a good entry for the
Write A Sonnet writing prompt contest. Good luck!

Thank you for the fantastic review and generous stars, Gypsy. Yeah, I went searching for another word beside wagon or carriage to use and came across Vardo. I'm glad you liked this silly piece, Gypsy. Thank you again.

Comment from Janice Canerdy
This sonnet is excellent in every respect. I like the way it progresses from a vividly descriptive, serious narrative poem about a fortuneteller in the forest to dry humor about the contest itself. Form--also excellent.

Comment from LyndaS
Don't fear the sonnet. Lol. You did a great job with this one, poet. Meter is spot on. Can't believe this is also an acrostic! Love the art and I agree with you totally that contest roll overs are frustrating. Well done! Lynda

Comment from Iza Deleanu
MMM, wonderful poem and you have set up the scene of mystery quite from the beginning - Found deep within the woods, I saw her there,
Outside the wagon, tending to her fire.
Requesting from the gypsy what she'll share." Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

Well, I salute your skill for I do fear the sonnet. Your illustration, of course, pairs perfectly and sets the stage for your words. I appreciate your author's note. This is nicely done. Hope it makes it to the booth.

Thanks for the four stars, Roof.

I meant to give you five stars. I went back in and changed it to five stars. I must have hit the four by mistake. Apologies.
-
I appreciate that, Roof. I'm glad you liked this silly piece. Have a great night.
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written acrostic sonnet about fortune telling that is an age old skill by gypsies who claim they can tell the future if anyone by looking inside a crystal glass ball.

Comment from MissMerri
VERY funny and clever, and I hope it inspires people to want to enter the sonnet contest, even though you may already have it won. You have doubled your chances by making this both sonnet and acrostic, and adding some humor never hurts either. I thought it was very good. Well, better than that, I thought it was excellent. MM

Comment from lightink
Awesome, awesome writing. You embedded the acrostic elements in a graceful manner - it all sounds very natural. The shift between the serious well created mysterious world of the fortune telling lady and well, our little digital world here makes it fun and definitely quite a shift. I was first trying to decide if there was a real turn in this, but I suppose this shift could be considered one. (Also, I had no idea that it took four sonnets for a contest to happen.) Also, this could be self-fulfilling prophecy... Your skill level might scare away the less experienced poets ;)...

Thank you so much for the fantastic review, Lightink. Yes, her answer was the turn in the piece. For most contests it takes 5 entries by the deadline for it to go to committee and then on to the booth. If not, they usually extend it for 3 days. This contest has been extended twice now. I dearly appreciate the excellent comments and gracious stars. I'm glad you liked my silly little sonnet. I hope you have yourself a wonderful weekend. Thank you again.

Now, there's only one missing, so it might go to booth soon. I wish I felt more inspired these days, I'd join. Except, to stand a chance I would need to go for an acrostic myself - or something similarly outstanding. You didn't make it easy, which is a good thing ;). Have a great weekend and I wish you good luck!
