Nostalgia

Nostalgia No Other Sensation Than longing for A past time and place Lingers so intensely; Giving sadness and pleasure, Infusing the desiring soul, As the sharp pain of Nostalgia. 26/11/16

Brilliant acrostic! Its short and sweet, and also fully describes the true meaning of the word 'Nostalgia'.

Great descriptive acrostic about Nostalgia..I enjoyed reading it..Sometimes we romanticize things of the past but they are much harder than one might think or remember..My father-in-law used to say "Good ole days weren't so good for it was a lot of hard work"..Thanks for the visit to my page..Sara

VERY WELL DONE and would surely place high with me. It reads so clearly and resonates how nostalgia feels to me, it even looks visually pleasing. Great job, Barry ... CayCay
