A Poet's Tears (Acrostic)

  A nytime she writes, she writes with all her tears P ondering all the heartaches that have haunted her for yearsO pen and transparent to all that wanna seeE nding every sentence in tear stained agonyT rying not to falter with the words she'll choose to writeS itting in a darkened room with no ending near in sight T elling of a long lost love that simply didn't lastE verything she seems to write reminds her of her pastA wake, she labors throughout the night to tell her tale of woeR epeatedly wiping away her tears but the stains will always showS ealing her art with tear stained ink that haunts her very soul

Beautiful. Wow! One thing

Beautiful. Wow! One thing though, "P ondering all the heartaches that’s haunted her for years" could be changed to "that have haunted" for grammar reasons. When I read it out loud I find it doesn't mess up the rhythm. Your call! Antoine

Nicely Done!

Job well done. I must try this some time Just not yet, I am to unstructured yet. I may never settle down. It was a very nice Read Thanks for Sharing it Donnie/Sinbad I would give Kelsey suggestion some deep thought Have or Has either one. Some readers won't connect with {That's} spell it out for them and It doesn't hurt the flow any, but it is your call to ease it or cause the pause and/or the re-read some devious Poets do stuff like this on purpose, he he. But I don't feel this here was your intent not yet any way. Donnie/Sinbad
