You brought the sense with you words of a moment in faith, the traditional acrostic pattern embraced with rhythm. In my opinion The flow broke at the last two lines, it may be that it is when you shifted from direct end ryhme to family ryhme I felt a disconnect. Good job.

    Thank you very much for reviewing my work .i am afraid i am not good at technicalities of the poem writing .i just write what comes to my mind .may i ask what is family rhyme?
reply by Katzintx on 12-Aug-2013

    In â??family rhyme," rhyming is based on phonetic similarities.
    despair / ensnare direct rhyme
    boat /afloat direct rhyme
    boat/float..close. Share vowel sound with a different consonant at end, Encyclopedia of Poetry and
    Poetics.section on consonant
    groupings can give you more detail if your interested.
    Your poem is beautiful and amazing. you are gifted in that it just comes to mind.i look forward to reading more of your work.

I love the thoughts in your acrostic but I will point out just in case it matters to the voting power, An acrostic has to have the same TITLE as the acrostic to be a true one. In your case the title would be FAITH. The "What Keeps Me Afloat" would be the subject of the poem or in author's notes. Good luck. xoxo Kiwi

Faith is having belief in what you can't see in both the good times and in the bad times. That is the strength of this poem. The faith is still there during the storms and rocky times and the author manages to still stay afloat thanks to their faith.

I like this, it's simple and open to interpretation, really expresses that lonely feeling of seeking hope and faith and finding something to hold on to. I also quite like your illustration. Good luck in the contest!

I do like MoonWillows are work. Nicely chosen for this acrostic poem. You described Faith nicely, flowing from start to finish. I hope you do well in the contest. The colors you chose are very effective.
