Haha! I really enjoyed this! The image immediately shouts fun as soon as you open the poem, and wow the wording 'winning' was a difficult word to work with for an acrostic poem with the extra complexity but you pulled it off and did a great job!
Such a complex poem style. The content is hilarious, I wish I had a six for this I used mine up early this week. This deserves one though (sorry!). Good luck with the contest I feel it's a runner for the win!
Best Wishes

I enjoy reading 2d Acrostic poetry, but; I have tried, and I suck at it. LOL
You have my utmost admiration for winning at this poetic form and I wish you every luck in the contest.
As for my futile efforts, maybe I shall try again next year :-)

It is difficult, and that is the draw for me. It occupies the mind, so the pain can't get through. win win. It's like the variety puzzle books and words games I play on Roku. I keep myself ever occupied. Thanks for the read.

Winning sometimes proves a point, especially when we are told we will never win. I enjoyed your unusual acrostic for the contest and wish you luck, love Dolly x

Thanks for the read. Marilyn Hamilton slipped on the ice and is in the hospital with a broken hip. Put her on your best wishes list please.
Da Mommy (Yvonne) is back in the nursing home, and Debi P.M. is soon to be back in the hospital for her cornea replacement. Jessie James Doty is recuperating from his spinal surgery. Patcelaw is recuperating from her heart surgery. Jim Vecchio is having multiple biopsy's soon. That's all the new stuff I know. I pass this along . Our lists keep getting longer. Love to you and yours.Karen
-
Oh my goodness, I didn't know about what happened to Marilyn, poor girl, than you for telling me about everyone here Karen, love Dolly x x x
-
Marilyn wrote me that her is not broken after all, and will be there 3 more days. Jessie is walking better all the time. And pat is walking a lot. :-)

Hi Karen, I like your poem. You used descriptive words in the poem which adds a nice touch to it. The picture and poem go together very well. Good luck in the contest.

-Clever artwork and nice presentation.
-You did a good job with the poem and form,
as well as the topic.
-Effective imagery and use of alliteration.
-Good questions at the beginning.
-I like the line about not noticing whimsical intent.
-The next line follows that very well, but then
that doesn't seem to be working well, either.
-A very good concluding line.
-Good luck in the contest.

Thank you for sharing this. I am sorry to hear the news, although, as you said, some are recuperating at home. Hopefully others will be better, too. Thoughts and prayers are with them.

Thank you.

Hi
Winning is so important these days because everything is so competitive.
We all worry our words and actions don't matter. But in the end if they get done what they were meant to they do matter.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a nice day and Happy Holidays.
Joan

Thanks for all the updates. I am surprised you can keep up with all of it.
They will all be in my prayers.

Marilyn did not fall and break her hip, I must have confused her with someone else. She will be in the hospital for a few more days though.
-
Glad to here she didn't break her hip. But I am sorry someone else did. I hope they all heal quickly and fully.

Me too! Karen

An excellent entry for the 2D Acrostic Challenge #4 contest. This is a very intimidating format for me but you really did a great job with it. I wish you good luck in the contest.

Thanks for the read. This was a bugger. Straight alliteration was much easier for me than this. But it keeps the pain away when I have to concentrate so hard. Win Win

It was very hard. This is a good thing for me. My brainy brain is working so hard on this some of my pain is trapped and can't come through. Win. Win. Thanks for the read.
Comment from karenina
I don't know that many "n" words! If I did I couldn't line them up to make a coherent poem with a statement!
You rock...
You deserve all the "stars" that line the bottom of your poem, my friend!
Nobody should EVER say you can't!
You'll do it twice as goid, walking backwards, in heels!

I removed the smiley face. I replaced it with starbursts. They might be seen as a giveaway. I did not think it through. Thank you for the read.

I updated my review to reflect your starbursts....

This is so creative. The repetition of "N" sounds is almost a hypnotic effect!
Almost like the poem is unfolding like a puzzle. It's a unique piece that really gets you thinking! Keep playing with these creative ideas!
