Wishful Thinking {Acrostic}

by xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex   Jul 12, 2007


This is the best Acrostic I've ever written. They seem to be extremely hard for me, for god knows what reason, but I was actually slightly proud of this one. Tell me what you really think. =]
`````````````````````````````````````````````

With bouts of contempt
Insecurities set in and hope frays.
Set your eyes to the Gods;
Hand in hand you will find your place
Falling through a time unknown to man.
Undergoing secrets we never knew;
Long ago where wishful thinking grew.

Touch the delicate test we call tomorrow,
Holding down what little ambition we can choke on.
Intent with everything but nothing itself;
"Nothing is only a little bit of everything," you claim.
Knowing tomorrow will never come, you detest
Intrigued with moments we know are no longer there;
Now memories are wasted on a time long gone,
Gesturing toward wishful thinking won't dawn.

    I also find acrostic poetry quite hard to write, When I do try to write it, it just doesn't seem to hold emotion of flow for me but with this piece here its quite the oposite from you. I'd be very proud of myself if I was you creating such an amazing acrostic. I have enjoyed reading your poems tonight. Keep writing so I can keep reading. ~Mel

    this was a great acrostic. i read easily through it, and if i didnt think to hard about the format, or read that you styled it as an acrostic, i probably wouldve never guessed.

    great job, its most definitely something to be proud of!

    5/5.

    It was a terrific piece of work, even though its theme was quite dispiriting and ironic and hopeless. I hardly could even pick out a favorite passage because each of them were thought-out and written rather well. On the whole, it was quite delightful to read, along with an unpromising viewpoint towards life.

    Fantastic piece, nevertheless. 5/5 :]

    Take care,

    You're an odd one; only slightly proud? I'd be all high and mighty if I were you. Lmfao. But, I'm not...

    So, it was quite the acrostic.
    They're hard for me as well, but they don't seem to be too hard on you.
    It flowed so well, seemed as if.. everything was just layed out on the table? I'm not quite sure.

    But, it's amazing.
    keep it up.
    5/5
