Star(acrostic)

by Stephanie Naylor   Jul 4, 2007


See how i stay away from light
Skies i stay clear, for they are to bright
Subtle jokes are made to my kind
Secrets we keep from your simple mind

Talk springs about when we are on the prowl
Trickling blood, down my face, how foul
Taking the time to actually care
Thinking all the while of your own despair

Again and again you people undermine us
Arguing and complaining that were such a fuss
Alone in the dark you fear we will come
Asking to the gods, what will you become

Requesting to the gods that we leave you be
Resounding voices from tree to tree
Rethinking you and your own being
Racing thoughts you have,wishing the while its not us your seeing

    Great poem. Amazing written. I love acrostic poems and this was the first I've read that each letter was the start of a whole different stanza. Usually it's just for one line but I guess you did that because it was a short word. o_0.

    Anyway, this poem had a good meaning and I loved your word choice. Also you should capital your "I's". It's just proper english.

    5/5

    This is a very powerful poem though I wasn’t sure what sort of person you were trying to describe or if it was an individual the title didn’t seam to fit however when it came down to the wording I give you 5/5

    I love this poem :)
    Although the 3rd stanza had a bit of a shaky rhyme at the beginning, it's a definite 5/5.
    It went along so nicely :)

    Wow, what a unique acrostic poem. I like how you used ech letter four times. It made for a really great poem. The flow and the rhymes were great. 5/5

    Quite a different poem than I've ever heard. It was great. Flow was there, emotion, description. Everything. It was like the perfect poem. Except for the last two lines.

    [Rethinking you and your own being
    Racing thoughts you have,wishing the while its not us your seeing]
    ^^ The flow is way off in these two lines. There's just too many syllables in the second line. Just try maybe rearranging a few words or taking filler words out and it'll be fine.

    Other than that, it was a great poem. I really enjoyed the darkness and the mystery behind it. Well done. =) 5/5 xoxo
