    I commend you, Acrostics are impossible to perfect it seems. THey are so simple, yet complex. The very eyes of poetry huh?

    Lull me until I fall into the
    Arms of your world.

    The first part is well written. I feel like the 2nd line is a little off for the poem. But i am a person who has to have everything matching up. Ocd. haha

    Veil my eyes with rose petals,
    Incite my senses to a road of
    Endless possibilities. But ..

    There is where you can tell your starting to struggle *At least in my opinion* (actually this was the only area where i felt it didnt meet up perfectly so you did a very well job on this) You can tell that it starts to have that stop and go feeling.
    Other then that there is so much meaning in the words. I love the poem. Its near perfect.

    Excuse my innocence before
    Narcotizing my thoughts.

    ^ Perfect for that imo Not a damn thing wrong

    Revive my grey reality with
    Orbits of merry pink ribbons
    Sweep me off my feet until I'm
    Enchanted in a la vie en rose.

    *hug* The ending was very well. This is a very unique poem in my opinion and deff gives you the feeling of what your trying to get across. I see the images and its just beautiful. I love how you write, one of my favorite writers on here. Thank you for sharing your poetry with us, we are truly blessed.

    Way to go Meme. When I saw this three days ago, I mean the title, I began to sing the song of Edith Piaf. You should sing me this on youtube :P

    I rarely read beautiful acrostics. They are undeniably easy to write, but very hard to impress with. And with this, I'm totally impressed. It flowed smoothly, unconditionally, and without being bound to obstacles of finding vocab of the letters of the title. It felt like a lullaby, really. The first word is lethal (Lull); it's amazing to my ears.

    Go listen now to IF I DIE YOUNG (by The Band Perry). Its mood, its pace, and its brilliance is very similar to this piece of art.

    There are beautiful descriptions: merry pink - endless possibilities...

    so soft and crisp!!

    Lovely write

    I usually hate acrostics, most make no sense just words gathered to conform to the format. But this was beautiful. The best I have read in a while

    Meme,

    I read this poem for Larry and Hellon's contest and I really enjoyed it, I had no idea who wrote it but I was desperate to find out. Acrostics aren't the easiest thing to write but you made it seem simple. It was a pleasure writing against you in the challenge!

    Straight away the title interested me, French is a language I recognize but don't see often on this site, if it all. Do you speak fluent French? or did it just interest you. The title sparked that question for me.

    I was most fond of the soft words used throughout the poem. I love Lull and veil, both very sensual. I'd never have thought to view someones eyes with rose petals, I liked the symbolism here.

    You enticed the senses here, relaxed me and made me crave the scene of roses strangely enough.

    -Mel
