Kahpot,
This is a well written acrostic about how being abused and ignored effects the rest of your life. It is so sad.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Congrats on winning the contest.

Comment from Regina Elliott
What a masterful acrostic with a much deserved win.
The theme of the sea is quite
fertile for mystique and beauty of romance. I often
have dreams of giant waves
thundering on the shore. Well
done, Congratulations

Comment from Wendy G
Congratulations on your win! This is a thoughtful and thought-provoking acrostic with depth, and tells a sad story of a person drowning in the depths of sadness of his past - "never at peace, always adrift" Very poignant.

Comment from harmony13
The poem flows and connects well. The author's words are sad, interesting, descriptive and creative. I pondered on the theme of these words. Thank you for the author's notes - they give more understanding
to the poem. The artwork is awesome and compliments these words.

I like your acrostic poem. I can't write them, but I can appreciate them if they are done well, as this one is. Good luck in the contest. I am sure you will do well.

Comment from Carolyn Dooley
It is sad when someone give up. To throw in the towel, is not a great choice. Having someone trustworthy to talk to would be great. This is a great story in a poem. Keep up the great work. Stay safe. Good luck.

Comment from Gloria ....
Great to see you again, kahpot. And you have delivered a fine acrostic poem, about a court manuscript that alleges the "boy" knew and understood what was happening. Although without the author note I wouldn't have taken away quite that meaning.
It seems to me the adult is always responsible, and it seems this young fellow is deeply troubled and haunted by these memories and alluding to his demise in the ocean.
As always an image filled and highly atmospheric write. Wishing you all the best with the Contest Committee. :))

Thank you so very much, yes the adult should have been held accountable, I think because he was the stepfather-and Mom was of no help to the boy, as always very much appreciated****kahpot
Comment from John Ciarmello
I love this Acrostic! Your words are elegant and well placed. I'm sure this is metaphoric. I like to interpret; I know it's dangerous, but I feel it gives more to the writer than simply the stating of favorite stanzas. I sense an unstable relationship. Perhaps with your dad. I believe it's you that is drowning possibly submerged in a beaten down life. It feels like at the end you've pulled yourself to shore never to return to that ocean of turmoil.
