Hornpipes Poem by Sathya Narayana

It is always a pleasure to see a well written poem in the acrostic form, Sathya, and you achieved just that with this fine write containing the 'hidden' message, 'wealthy.' As I have previously said, most poets do not write very good poems when writing an acrostic, as they are distracted by trying to conceal their message at the beginning of each line, even though acrostics are not all that difficult to write, especially compared to the 'Poe Method' style I prefer. Your fine and cogent poem was an exception, though, and I was glad to see that, as it make excellent poetic sense with the little bonus of being an acrostic poem. Carl. PS- For an example of what is known as a 'Poe Method' poem, read Edgar Allan Poe's poem, 'An Enigma, ' in which is hidden the name 'Sarah Anna Lewis, ' a woman he was enamoured with at one time. You can also read my poem, 'Who Am I? ' which has the name of a noted English writer in it. Carl.

poetry is brevity. i liked the way u chose ur words carefully.it was also interesting hearing u expressing ur emotions of anger the way u did.only a true poet and a truthful person can do so.

A concise and clear message! I also liked the last comment of Ms Mitra. - Raj Nandy
