Nice write on a problem far too familiar to so many. It also takes a lot of inner strength to make it through it. Great Job K!

Hi David, thanks ! I appreciate your perceptive comment :)

Wow! This is eye-opening! Never have I seen an acrostic that held so much meaning and truth. I love how you've used the name to question what's associated with taking on a name that doesn't live up to the name (hope that makes sense). Great write!

So are you trying to say, theres more to you than meets the eye? Id say thats true for most women, a mystery for men to unravel, but most men have fun unravelling gifts, which is what women are, gifts from god, blessings Carl

A great punchy poem. I loved it from the start, but it has taken me to read a few comments below to understand the meaning. I think I've got it now, well done. Thanks also for your Well Wishes on my “Southern Christmas” blog. Having posted it so late I was not expecting any responses, so am overwhelmed. It has further buoyed my Festive Season. May this Season treat you well too, Scott
