You let the magical charm of your pen flow here into a fine poem for the contest. When poets are challenged, they write with their emotion and create masterpieces, much enjoyed, love Dolly x x x

Thank you so much for your review, Patricia -- always greatly appreciated.
Comment from SimianSavant
A 7x7! And there's a coherent theme, and it flows effectively, and it RHYMES! I attempted that just once ("Weather" in the contest listing) and the rhyming made it much harder. The difficulty level of entries in this contest clearly exceeds the previous 2D contests, and yours is among the most impressive contenders.
You even managed to meter it evenly for the first half. I'm assuming that's the reason for the ellipsis, to demarcate the meter change from fixed to loose?
Presentation with its "golden ink" has the same subtle attention to detail as the text. Altogether an outstanding entry that, just like the aspiration expressed in your title, transcends the very strict form. Thanks so much for joining this contest.

Thank you for this awesome review as well as for those shining stars -- both are so very appreciated. As I stated in my author notes, this was certainly a challenging form, but such is what keeps us sharp in our writing skills, yes? Have a great week and Merry Christmas!

You are very welcome.
Comment from Tim Margetts
I have been trying this form, It really is a bit of a biatch.
So far, I am nowhere near being happy with my results.
Your poem is masterful, indeed a magical example.
Thanks for sharing.

What a technical style poem this is! First I've seen a 2D Acrostic poem, you have done a great job with it! Wonderful words about writing really beautifully put, well done and good luck with the contest.

Comment from Jesse James Doty
The charmed advice of the magical arm is of course the muse at work as it is magical how it works so divinely.
You've captured the essence of the 2D Acrostic poetry requirements within the realms of the writers who are famous for their work. I love the artwork that depicts the arm stretched out in front of the open pages of a book.
It adds the flavor of magic pure and simple.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Thank you for sharing your magical and well-crafted acrostic verse. I like the way your verse flows rather than take the form of a list which can sometimes happen. You've also given your theme of magic a regular rhyming pattern and a timeless and abstract quality to the language. Well done and good luck! Debbie

Comment from Trina Layne
Interesting read. It is somewhat abstract. Perhaps that lends itself well to the theme of your poem. I was following it, all the way up to the I in magical. I got lost at C. The wordplay is cool, but clarity is still important. Thanks for sharing. Best of luck with your entry!
