Wilma Neels Poet Acrostic

'jealous' Acrostic

Jaunty faces
Evoke positive thoughts  
And even though they say encouraging words to you
Layered within those words are thoughts of failure
Only their mind’s eye knows about
Until that day you are on your knees
Struggling to get up; while they are watching you and not lending a hand

Poet Tacito September 20, 2013 at 8:05 AM I have met several in my life that have done this. Cruel, filthy...they were. Fortunately, I didn't need them to be where I am today. I definitely need to read a strong piece like this.

Liam Mcdaid September 20, 2013 at 7:51 AM excellent piece

Charmaine Chircop September 20, 2013 at 6:21 AM Ow gee..jealousy is the worst deed in the world indeed..the one which steals happiness.It comes in many colours..some seen and other hidden as the ones described above.An excellent acrostic dear.
