Richard Lamoureux Poet Acrostic

Fifty Ways

"Fifty ways to leave your lover"
is such a sad song to sing
fifty ways to break her heart
too many ways to create misery
you wish you knew a better way

I love five/ a new five letter word Acrostic Contest.
Host: Andrea Dietrich

Barbara Gorelick September 16, 2013 at 7:38 AM Congrats to you..I always enjoyed that song. Not sure why..lol. BG Richard Lamoureux September 16, 2013 at 8:22 AM It is kinda catchy.

Debbie Guzzi September 15, 2013 at 8:56 AM I guess if they still love you there is no good way? [though I have known men to be so miserable to you, they forced YOU into leaving them! ] Congrad's on your win! Light & Love Richard Lamoureux September 15, 2013 at 9:14 AM That is a sad commentary on men. Hopefully that has only been a limited example of how you have witnessed men behaving.

Andrea Dietrich September 15, 2013 at 4:02 AM hey , richard. I enjoyed this one. I sure do remember this song from so long ago!! I always found that song to be rather funny instead of sad! congrats in my contest. Richard Lamoureux September 15, 2013 at 7:19 AM I found it sad as well.

Cecilia Macfarlane September 5, 2013 at 9:40 AM Unfortunately there is no easy way, song is playing in my head right now, funny how in the song he is asking a woman about the fifty ways,which poses the question do woman have more ways to end it then men?.....LOL. Great write Rick. Hugs Richard Lamoureux September 15, 2013 at 7:19 AM Probably, women are very creative. Nowadays they will probably just text the guy.

Karen Anglesey September 5, 2013 at 6:40 AM Hadn't heard that song in years ... first thing I thought, after I smiled, was "Get a new plan Stan, don't try to be coy Roy"....a very enjoyable and creative acrostic that filled my head with so many things :) Richard Lamoureux September 5, 2013 at 7:43 AM That's great! Glad I could bring some music to your day.

Dan Kearley September 4, 2013 at 2:07 PM It should say "50 ways to (please) your lover." That would be more pleasant. Nice write! Richard Lamoureux September 5, 2013 at 7:45 AM That sounds like a lot more fun. I only know about 30 ways. You'll have to send me a few pointers*lol*

Donna Jones September 3, 2013 at 3:49 PM Thanks Richard...now that drop off the key lee..and all the other crazy lyrics are stuck in my head!!!!...great job on the poem though....winner..:-) Richard Lamoureux September 4, 2013 at 7:43 AM Ha ha, glad to entertain!

Monterey Sirak September 3, 2013 at 5:06 AM Wonderful! You exposed the sadness within the song with the catchy, upbeat tune. Richard Lamoureux September 3, 2013 at 7:05 AM Thanks Monterey.

Red Fiery September 3, 2013 at 12:38 AM . ..it's always easy to leave or lose at any point of time..all the best with this one ! Red Fiery September 4, 2013 at 8:30 AM Becoz it's always difficult to get a true lover..but easy to lose .....people don't value for true love...( telling u from my experience :( Richard Lamoureux September 3, 2013 at 7:05 AM Easy?

Shadow Hamilton September 2, 2013 at 5:39 PM sad and powerful write Richard gl in contest Shadow x smile Richard Lamoureux September 2, 2013 at 6:00 PM Thanks Shadow. I can always use a bit of luck.

Poet Tacito September 2, 2013 at 5:23 PM Such is the common tactic from humanity's sheep where they play detective in search for mistakes of another person's heart rather than cherishing the beauty of their heart. Great piece. Poet Tacito September 3, 2013 at 9:13 AM I agree. The only sub-category for pain, is time. How long will it last. I prefer good outcomes over "lesser of two evils". Or, in this case, 50 evils. :) Richard Lamoureux September 2, 2013 at 6:07 PM Thanks Drake, maybe they came up with fifty ways in hopes of finding the way that would cause the least amount of pain. Personally I think that would be impossible, the pain is always felt.

Nette Onclaud September 2, 2013 at 1:34 PM I heard this song before and your take on the theme is mellow and enduring... paul simon will be proud, rich... well done; so unique! !..:) huggs Richard Lamoureux September 2, 2013 at 6:08 PM I forgot who wrote the song, thanks for the reminder.

Eileen Manassian September 2, 2013 at 12:53 PM WOW! Fifty ways, eh? It is a very sad song, Richard....great write, though...Good luck on this one from Andrea! Line before the last...that TO is missing an extra O... ;) TOO...I responded to your soup mail. Have a great day! Richard Lamoureux September 2, 2013 at 1:14 PM Thanks Eileen;0)
