The Amateur

P oet, I'm afraid your words are too small.
O range is a word that won't rhyme at all.
E nd with a full stop, and a coma there.
T he verse you put down is practically bare.
R emember to spell check, find all your mistakes.
Y et this is not all writing poetry takes.

Beautifully done here, Pawlu!! Acrostics are one of my favorite forms to do and this contains an excellent message ... smile ... and while grammatical errors do take second to content, often they get in the way of the message like the comma in your last line ... LOL ... Hope to read much more from you here at the Soup!!
