Another great acrostic poem for the contest. A lovely but sad poem with an interesting title. I never thought about live that way...you should do well in the contest.

Crushing words...creating trauma - I actually think the ellipsis in this instance takes away from the impact of this line
Otherwise, great work overall, thanks for sharing. Later daze.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written Acrostic poem about how easily lovers can miss their life's outcome when they don't communicate about the important things in their relationship but keep hurting each other knowingly or unknowingly.

Comment from Mary Hollingsworth
Writer all I can say as I see this peace that you so gracefully penned. "You nailed the qualifications and the rhythm and rhyme right on the head. Your presentation is so on spot as well. I love the wording and each line falls in a certain pattern that's noticeable. Great job. Well wishes for your entry.

Comment from Sheila Golding
Very clever use of words, to make the title with the first letters of each line. Telling a story too, well done, hope you do well ð???
This should do well, nice work.

Your poem revibrated in my heart as I could properly identify with it. "Everyone for themselves where love is lacking", is a universal truth. Thanks for sharing your thoughts as we pray for the emotional satisfactions we so need.

ESOTINE, in the course of our lives we at times find ourselves in a desert searching for an oasis.

This follows the Acrostic rules for this contest and you have done a good job with your free form poem. There is a bit of pain and suffering in it but it does not overwhelm the reader. I wish you luck in the contest. Good work.

Comment from kiwisteveh
A rather grim little poem about the end of love and what has caused the breakdown. I'm a little puzzled by the title, which is of course also the Acrostic phrase. I can imagine a situation where 'unpacking love' might apply to the end of a relationship, but you don't really go there in your poem to show what it means to you.
Good luck in the contest.
Steve

Steve, I have seen time and again, many relationships that just start unpacking all that stuff they had hidden -perhaps as false fronts -especially when the relationship is starting to crumble and someone in the relationship must take a stand to move alonmg.
