| Posted by Bruce W Niedt on 05/28/04 at 11:27 PM Very well done, Anne - a succinct and vivid portrait of a damaged self-image - the inner conflict is evident here - clever use of the acrostic form.... d:-) |
| Posted by JD Clay on 05/29/04 at 02:19 PM This is one of the finest acrostic poems I've ever read, Anne. It's like flicking the bathroon light on and catching your true self staring back at you in the mirror. Nicely done!

| Posted by Graeme Fielden on 06/01/04 at 12:20 PM A very clever acrostic Anne...your words glide so easily that it's easy to forget it's form - well done! :) |
| Posted by Rula Shin on 06/01/04 at 09:15 PM This rocks Anne! Especially, "Aknowledged beauty under a Gremlin�s guise Entombed" - very well done, wonderful flow, and captivating imagery of this tragically all too frequent dichotomy of external beauty versus internal essence...great read :-)

| Posted by Paganini Jones on 06/01/04 at 10:25 PM In my experience the difficulty most people have with accrostics seems to be making the line breaks happen in the poetically as well as formally right place, ie not only following the rules but creating a satisfying poem. You have the nack of making it seem a natural and easy skill! |
