Great job with your rhyming acrostic sharing a word of wisdom about self-improvement. We are certainly blessed when we help others, befriend, or "Restore some hope to a troubled soul." Congrats on the win!!

A person can leave home sad or miserable. You go throughout the grocery store and pick up the items you need. Once you get to the checkout lane and someone greets you with a smile, your mood changes. However, if they do not acknowledge you or tell you to have a great day, you go back home feeling the same. I enjoyed reading this post. People need to realize we are all in the same boat. Thank you.

    Thanks for your review. It is always nice when someone greets us with a smile - actually notices us and has a comment.

    You are welcome. And it is hard to find anyone smiling or speaking in this area. However, it makes me feel great.

This acrostic poem, DONE FOR OTHERS, follows the vertical, first-letter formatting and reminds the readers that workng with others as a partner or mentor can make lasting relationships.

This is an acrostic which flows smoothly, remains on topic and seems unforced. Composing one which rhymes adds a level of difficulty. Yours is meaningful with a positive message focusing on care for others. Well done. Best wishes for your entry.

The author's words are uplifting, encouraging, helpful, descriptive and creative. I pondered on the words of this poem and found them to be so helpful for when you need to promote self worth. The poem flows and connects well. The artwork is colorful and positive and compliments these words.

This is a positive and motivating poem. The rhyme scheme is on point. I like the size of the font and that the beginning letters are a different color and prominent. I like that the word wonder is in italics and made to stand out. The visual fits well and is vibrant. Good luck in the contest.

What a lovely message of positivity and spreading the hope around :-). It can be easy to lose yourself in a dark spiral of your own thoughts and feelings, and forget that the way out can be as simple as talking to someone or smiling as a passing stranger (not in a creepy way, though - that'll get you a reputation).

I very much enjoyed the read.
