Just about all writers endure this type of anxiety when the words elude us. Don't remember the contest for which your acrostic was written, Ann, but your poem stands well alone. I'm not partial to acrostics, but this is an exception. Very well done! Congratulations on your win in Brian's contest. Best wishes, Carolyn

Many thanks Carolyn, the contest was called Food for Thought with Silent One the sponsor and I missed the deadline because I left it just too late, hence the panic in my poem, haha! I am really delighted to receive top place in Brian's contest. Kindest thoughts to you from Ann xx

I like your acrostic, Ann. There is always room for one more good one. Good luck in the contest!

No I really was too late Caren, I started writing it after midnight and at that point there were 33 people, but by the time I had finished at 2.00 am, the competition had reached it's maximum number of entrants; oh dear such a shame! Oh well that will teach me not to leave these things to the last minute, haha! Thanks for your lovely comment Caren. Kindest thoughts Ann xx
