Tears of the Poor (Acrostic)

by Maple Tree   Jan 20, 2014


Tasting salty bitterness,
Engaged in a lonely entree
Arranged and designed,
Rudely, by
Society.

One line
Forms my existence.

Tactfully, I smile-
Humorously
Evolved in another world I create.

Please and thank you are whispered,
Only to receive a brick of cheese.
Onward I lead the others in a crusade of
Rich desires within my own imagination.

    I believe what you are saying here is that this person who is poor I assume from the title is rejected by society. And it's sad how they really are. I loved the first line here. The emotion you pour into this character is stunning. You can feel their pain overall. " Tasting salty bitterness". I think you mean feeling hurt or angryat a person or maybe even the world bbecause this person has nothing at all. I love here how you pinpointed the small details like going into their own world because reality is very harsh for them. I loved your ending as well because it sums up the story well I feel. The word "rich" is well placed I feel because no matter what your imagination can make you feel so happy and I loved that line. Overall you did a grwat job writing an acrostic form. Even with it you bring a taste of happiness and hope to a character who has less.
