Darlene your words portray a clear image of what I saw in Maine when I visited the Portland Lighthouse. Your Acrostic poem reminds me of that beautiful lighthouse.

Your Acrostic poem towers up like a lighthouse above the rocky base, Darlene. Short, crisp lines which give a clear image of your theme. Regards // paul
