Vacancy in a hopeless heart
In dismay, she takes flight, falls
Onto brush and stones, she crumbles
Love was her myth that lied inside
Eternal rays of sun die out
Taking wing, her soul soars out of this earth

    I really liked this acrostic, I think they are difficult, sometimes I just make them too wordy but each line created that face of sadness here.

    Love the use of "vacancy"- it sounded romantic when you wrote it in the first line, like a lost romance, an empty one. Also liked how you kept that image of bird, and in this case, her soul is soaring out of earth, flying away....almost out of existence.

    Great thought into this one- keep writing :)

    I'm new to this site and just joined days ago. It is really difficult to get a comment or rating so I know how you feel on coming back. Your poem evokes a saddness and I really loved the fourth line because it could be taken in two ways. Either by lying to herself or that the myth lived inside of her. I like a poem that sometimes makes me think a little and this poem made me sit back and think. Good job, well done and write more.
    By the way if you could review one or two of mine ( any will do) I would apprieciate it as well. I can only do better if I know better. Many thanks.

    WOW! This is exceptional!

    I love Acrostics, this form feels so sincere and deep. The wording in this piece is full of sadness but in an elegant kinda way.

    One of the best acrostics I read lately <3
