Such a sullen tone in this poem. I agree you have some tough competition but this should do well. I like it (for what that is worth)! - Dean

So well packaged Chris with economy of words in such a few lines which span the romantic sentiments of the present, past and future. All the best in the Contest...Maria

Thank you Maria. I really didn't want to go with sadness but that's how it came out. :)

Love how the small acrostic moves from today to yesterday to tomorrow, and speaks about sorrows, heartbrokens, lonely and pain. So much not said in so few words. Good luck in the contest my friend :)

Superb acrostic my friend. Since sorrow seems to have parked in my backyard as of late, sadly I can relate to this fine piece. Good luck in the new contest my friend.
