    Bob, I always admire people who pull of an alphabet acrostic and you have done so with eloquence and even rhyme which isn't easy in this form.
    Well done, I really enjoyed this.
    All the very best,
    Ben

    An alphabetic acrostic..now that takes some real work to get it down in sentences and at the same time make it meaningful. I like the message and I like the positiveness of it.

    Kinfolk constantly remind me
    Lessons of life are filled with sin

    ^^This one in particular stood out for me. Its the people who are with us and surround us make us do/say things unconsciously without we meaning it. In turn we do the most stupidest things too! Each lesson of life is an experience and regrets.

    My only thing with this poem is that it would have sounded a bit smoother with punctuation. I don't know... but you did well with the rhymes having each one stand out as a single sentence and each one makes a point.

    Good work Bob and you have made me want to try this now! Keep penning!

    Great work Bob,

    glad it won.

    I was reading trying not to sneak a peek at 'x'

    thinking to myself he is going to use xenophobe,
    I was wrong, gutted. Thought I had that one sussed.

    I like the use of short lines and the rhyming here and there.

    worthy winner.

    Infinite wisdom unleashed in this cleverly written Acrostic. A poem with strength, lessons and trials that no matter the chosen life path there are reasons for it. Though we encounter negativity from others if you search the truth you can overcome any obstacle. Enjoyed this so much.

    Powerful write by Bob this week!

    Alphabet acrostics are difficult to write, he made this look very easy and he added a rhythmic flow to it - Amazing!

    I like how the first four lines rhyme and then as it continues on, its not a set rhyme scheme, but the words are rhythmic and set in such a lovely way it almost makes you think it's a rhyme scheme pattern.

    He mixed powerful words with true heart and grit within the message. A top notch, inspirational Life poem.
