Comment from LyndaS
An acrostic sonnet? One that is eloquently crafted? Actually spells out something pertaining to the subject? Adheres to the rules? Pretty much captures the essence of the formulation of ideas, thoughts and spirit of a poet?? Is that it??
Yes? Well then, I guess you nailed it. Lol!
Proceed.
Extremely well done, poet. I'll be voting for this. I appreciate the work you put into this piece. Excellent! Lynda

Comment from Rosemary Everson1
I love this poem. The thought of writing with a pen and pad has brought life to your pen. There's something about a written poem which I love. I think it's expresses how you feel. Good luck with the stars.

Comment from Michele Harber
Oh my goodness, I think this should be instilled as the official writers' mantra. Your passion for the craft comes through in every line and every word. You've made the restrictions of the Acrostic disappear within well-chosen rhymes and poetic phrases that don't seem hampered by your having to start each line with a specific letter. You've done an excellent job, and I wish you luck in the contest.

Comment from Susan X Smith
You did an excellent job on this acrostic poem. You also chose a stunning picture to complement it. The rhyme scheme works well and I especially liked the last line.

Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
This is truly a beautiful piece, although I found it a bit hard to read without line space between the words (this is a criticism of me, not you). Still that forced me to read it several times which let me get a real understanding of it

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about the inspiration we find that gives our pensite new life. We write down what he shows us in delight. We have no control of how the thoughts flow.

Comment from Mystic Angel 7777
This meets the contest requirements splendidly as you deliver an eloquent expression of inspiration in poetic form. It is an interesting approach to use Acrostic as that style generally comes across as dull and prosaic, but you managed to breathe life into it through the use of good meter and imagery throughout. Good luck in the voting and thank you very much for sharing it.
