Acrostic Attemp

Simple-Man87

For my salvation, she appeared

Touring my troubles along the way

Portrayed sheer perfection as she neared

Blue eyes told me things her mouth couldn't say

Relived my darkness, for moments brief

Delivering me peace of mind

No risk, rewards no relief

As she erased all that was unkind,

With her enchanted hand atop my shoulder

She shed my guilt like old skin

Believing her power of love controlled her

Instilling a light within me to start again.

    I don't know if this, highlighting the first, then second letter, etc, is more difficult that an acrostic where the first letter of each line makes up the acrostic?! A fine write S.

      I thought an Acrostic could go either way, as long as it consecutively and consistently spelled out something. I'm not sure. Y'all have been writing poetry long before me. Thank you for the compliment though.

        I'm no expert on acrostics. Looks more difficult to do the way you've done this. Have to allocate certain words, I suppose. Line 1, letter 1; line 2, letter 2; etc.

          It was a bit difficult. I appreciate the acknowledgement, thank you.

          Very nicely written! She is a lucky girl! But an acrostic usually starts with the first letter of every line---helpful criticism I hope!!! 🙂

            Very helpful guys. Thank you. I had just read Edgar Allan Poe's "A Valentine." That's sort of the style I was going for. However, I will try the other as well. Thank you for your kindness and time you took to read.
