a clear message in the end-line words and your title/acrostic is excellent defining beauty in terms of a gift. Congratulations, this is a first rate piece indeed. I had someone tell me they were bothered by the ........before the last word. Now that the contest is over, I think I will delete them for clarity. A note would suffice to let them know there is a message in the last words of each line.

This is very good Richard; end-word acrostics are not at all easy, but you managed it with apparent ease. // congrats on your well-deserved podium. // paul
