Perfect example of an acrostic makes all the sense in the world as well Chrys

not quite done yet; I like the first half, but would like to try and rhyme the second or give it some kind of meter, we'll see...by the way yes it was inspired by recent comments; even when leaving harsh feedback I try to give it from a coaching perspective; most of the time suggesting that they ask for help if they want to improve; as of late I have been getting more defensive replys, this site is a workshop; also since thats the case and its been awhile since Iknownobox posted any of this style I thought some of the new people might want to give it a try. Much respect David Frost

Often we have to look past

Often we have to look past our own individuality and inflated opinion of ourselves in order to see someone elses value. A very good poem/acrostic. Always, Cat

i love the ending. “look

i love the ending. "look past your own uniqueness". most people are too caught up in their own enticing world to notice other people. myself included, unfortunately. i think the style works well, the brief format.

Acrostic poetry can so

Acrostic poetry can so easily fall into the realm of gimmick, I find, but this works. And you know, I don't know if I've ever read a Singular Acrostic Poem (is that the correct terminology for one-word lines?) that I liked at all. But this was most excellent, and should perhaps be adopted by NeoPoet as a sort of motto. Don't know, I'm still quite new around here, just a suggestion. As to putting more into this poem, I would be curious to see what you come up with--it seems complete to me now. But then, the artist can always surprise....
