Comment from rama devi
OH wow, I can see why this won and congratulations. This is a superb acrostic which also incorporates rhyme, meter, metaphor and all the fine poetic devices mentioned within (consonance, Assonance, etc).
Unique, intelligent and creative write!
I especially loved:
he teasing, taunting phrases call
In tints and hues of unrefined
Non sequiturs that cast a thrall.
Gestalt achieved, the pieces bind.
and
Harmonics--drawn within the lines.
Excellent enjambement and flow between the lines (and images).
Lovely presentation.
Warm welcome to FS. Your name is new to me and you now have a new fan (but I do not review all posts, just FYI - a I have fanned many). I look forward to reading more of your work!
Warm smiles,
rd

Hello back rd. I appreciate your letting me know what appealed to you most in the piece as that is the best way for me to learn. I was moved to write this when the local artists guild, about 150 paintbrushes strong, asked to paint to my poems as their winter assignment with a gallery showing in the spring including both facets. It occurred to me then that we were both painting words and off I went. I am honored to have you as a fan and would like to add you to my list too. I like you can not get to every post. Not because of numbers of fans, but because I run my business alone and time does not allow. Thank you for the extra star. It means a lot to me.--Wendy

Great poetic form, imagery,images and craetive to boot.
Really special work.

Thank you poetbear. I may take those extra stars and put them on my Christmas tree. I am glad you enjoyed the piece. I often troll Google art and get inspiration there. This came about from a different source. I was moved to write this when the local artists guild, about 150 paintbrushes strong, asked to paint to my poems as their winter assignment with a gallery showing in the spring including both facets. It occurred to me then that we were both painting words and off I went. I'm happy that it seemed to be a worthwhile avenue to travel-Wendy
Comment from twinklepoems
What a great poem! I really like the original word choices that you used. Gestalt achieved, the pieces bind, harmonics drawn within the line, sketched carefully the scene unfurls.
Thses all create great word pictures. Congratulations on your faboulous win.

Oh, my. Seven stars for Christmas. I don't know if anyone really reads this, but you certainly know how to make someone's day. The local artists (about 150 paintbrushes strong) asked to paint to my poetry for their winter assignment. That was the beginning of the thought for this poem. It occurred to me that they would be painting the words I had just painted. Off it went from there. The art showing will be this spring. I can't wait to send this notice off to them and share the poem and the triumph as they were the inspiration for me. Thank you again and Woo-Hoo!

Thank you misscookie. I appreciate your taking the time to read and review my words. They are very similar, especially when you use metaphor and symbolism ;)--Wendy

Your very welcome.
Comment from angelisat
I love your description of how writing should be. Writing should be "stitched together" - not just a word thrown here and another word there - if they are placed and designed and sewn into the right position it can become a masterpiece, a work of art. Very clever acrostic too. Great job!

Hello angelisat and a belated welcome to FanStory. I appreciate your taking time from your own words to read and review mind. I have learned a great deal in my six months here (such as what an acrostic is) and I hope you enjoy all the reading and writing ahead.--Wendy
Comment from Gungalo
When poetry's full palette whirls
Out imagery, harsh consonance,
Rich simile, words strung like pearls,
Deep metaphor and assonance;
Sketched carefully, a scene unfurls.
This whole write is beautiful but I must say the last part of it is the best.

Thanks ever so dear Gungalo. I have been having a great time lately, trying to bend Acrostics and abecedarians into my (unrepentant) rhyming style. I am smiling, as it seems to have worked here. Thank you for reading and reviewing my words--Wendy

That it did, Wendy.

Hello Kaffeeen and welcome to FanStory. I hope you are enjoying the ride. I appreciate your taking the time to read and review my work. Your kind review made me smile and I hope you do hop over to my portfolio and take a peek. I would love to know what you think. I read your clever 575. I love the way you played block architecture and cure for the cold. Thank you again for the smile with my morning coffee.--Wendy
Comment from GarthL
It certainly painted a picture for me! A very creative acrostic that beautifully compares the use of words and the use of a 'metered paintbrush'. Loved 'Harmonics--drawn within the lines. Great write, well illustrated, an enjoyable read thank you. Livelove'n'peace, Garth

Hello again. I am glad you enjoyed the acrostic. This form challenges the unrepentant rhymer that I am. I spend a lot of time trying to bend them to my style. I am glad you think I succeeded with this one.

Painted a picture for me Wendy, thank you.
