The Angst of Our Age

sue, the message being conveyed was nicely put. brilliant piece. it's going to one of my faves. thanks btw for your comment on my poem. it is truly encouraging.

For an acrostic your flow is incredibly smooth and rythmic. I could read this as a free verse and it would still carry the same spirit but you fit it into the form as icing on the cake. Most awesome:) -Yoni

I loved this write, its wonderful. Thanks for the comments on mine by the way, Aleera

we are born so innocent and trusting, then as we grow, the truth is revealed, the reality... very well written poem, that makes one think.. Constance

You convey the universal angst very well in this artistic acrostic, Sue. Very nice work!

BRILLIANT ACROSTIC, Sue. Lainie

Clever acrostic! Sad ending - let's hope you are proved wrong. Yours Matthew Anish

A great poem and unfortunately very true, let's hope that we as a race are able to change before it's too late, and thank you for your comments Sue.

Evolution a tragic ending...Wow!!! That line says it all...It seems like the only way to change the tragic ending is to stop killing and start careing about one another...... Do you think that will ever happen????

wonderful writing Sue!!!i love that poem,and thanks for the comment.:-)

the last two verses,are so true human-tragic end,great poetry and thanks for your support,still praying

Hello Sue... this is a hard hit at the profound and truthful ... "admiration" :)

Wow, I think we share the same views of the world. It's excellent in my view... Cheers...

sue, i never read one of your poems without thinking how up on things that you are. you a true writer and i enjoy reading your work. lots of time i read and don't comment and i am sorry it is just sometimes my fingers hurt and i hate this new validate thing, i am always getting that thing wrong. janetta

Sue, a great title to this awesome Acrostic. Kind of upsetting last verse as I don't want to admit is true. I need to believe we will fix things and make it all better. Am I a dreamer or what. Love, Shar
