Betrayal (an acrostic) edited
Betryal
Bending meanings you are
Ever the artist
Trying within your mind
Rationalizing and twisting every nuance
As you go after your desire, disregarding
Your loyalty and devotion
Always seeing to your own needs first
Love is eaten by the lion of your lust
Review Request (Intensity):
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Review Request (Direction):
What did you think of my title?
How was my language use?
What did you think of the rhythm or pattern or pacing?
How does this theme appeal to you?
How was the beginning/ending of the poem?
Is the internal logic consistent?
Last few words:
another poem from the manuscript "Mirror/rorriM" that I am getting read for publishing. I appreciate all the help you are willing to give. Thanks in advance, Cat.

hi cat
i like this cat
very smooth transitions from line to line
but i found it a little hard on the eye and the smoothness of the write with the capital letters and space in the first words of the line
imho an acrostic shouldn't stand out as one - should be more subtle...
just me
lol - nothing else to crit
excellent as usual xx
love
judy

Dear Ann,
I'm sure you would be good at any type of poetry you put your hand to. You have the way with words, the Midas touch with poetry.

Cup
Held snug
In my hands
Careful no spills
Keep the thing level
Even if the world spins
Now we can get to the point
Felt the world turn today
It was because of you
Laughing at my way
Letting me in
Each day

Hope this transfers as it should or I would have dropped a boob LOL
Take care Sparrow is the one to blame ????

To raed is to oeby LOL:-
Make it Rhyme
Manipulating the words
Across spectrum's absurd
Keeping the rhyme flow
Enjoy the picture just so
Intigrated meters of joy
Titilating the mind's toys
Remember to let it sing
Have each line just ring
You can make exceptions
Many twisted deceptions
Even I may win in the end
