| Posted by Ashok Sharda on 10/31/03 at 02:26 PM Well, this sounds like face to face. A conflict between the INTENDED self and the dreamer. The good part is that the INTENDED self looks assertive and to the point. The matter of factly tone is distinct. |
| Posted by Maureen Glaude on 10/31/03 at 03:09 PM sooner or later, true colours always fly out in the open for all to see. The point should certainly be taken, well put |
| Posted by Graeme Fielden on 10/31/03 at 03:14 PM A clever acrostic Anne ... with teeth! |
| Posted by Max Bouillet on 10/31/03 at 07:55 PM Such a scathing rebuke of all those that present a fake exterior! Great verse and acrostic that speaks volumes!!!!!! |
| Posted by Don Coffman on 10/31/03 at 08:51 PM The acrostic queen still rules. The message in the poem and the words of the acrostic are absolutely perfect together. |
| Posted by David R Spellman on 11/01/03 at 11:19 PM ZING! A scorching one Anne. Expertly worded across AND down. Well done. |
| Posted by Mara Meade on 11/02/03 at 04:24 PM I read the poem, then scrolled down the comments to the rating and comment box. Dave Spellman stole my response, even though he said it first. |
| Posted by Lindsay Sanders on 11/04/03 at 12:22 AM a stunning acrostic. bravo. |
| Posted by Karl Waldbauer on 11/04/03 at 06:58 AM I'm watching the original Frankenstein movie and reading this...two excellent pieces...both creepy on a number of levels. Terrific, Anne. |

| Posted by Richard Paez on 11/04/03 at 06:12 PM Ouch. Talk about giving your inner-child a smack-down. Great use of the form, and a serious introspection. It reminds me of that hollow feeling inside one gets when struck with true guilt. i like the interplay between the title, the poem, and the vertical message. Thanks for sharing this! {m} |

| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 11/05/03 at 02:30 AM Ouch! A poem with some solid right and left punches to the solar plexis! |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 01/09/04 at 08:47 PM I like how this can stand for any number of people, famous and otherwise. Perhaps...hopefully a wake up call for all of them. |
