Trust

Hopefully this is somewhat more sophisticated than the average acrostic poem. It basically wrote itself. There was no writer's block.

Time is wasted,

     Trying to make sense of my insecurities.

Replay the scene in my mind,

     A thousand times. Convince myself it doesn't matter.

Understanding is key, but I don't understand

     Your thinking. Why are you being so 

Shallow? I thought I knew you so well.

Trust me, so I can trust you.

Nice acrostic, really great expression and intense display of emotion. I love the poems that come free of writer's block and this poem, reading it, comes free without disruption in flow/rhythm. This poem is very easy to relate to, especially with the replaying of scenes. I don't know how many times I do that even when it isn't for something intensely emotional. Well done.

This is one of the better acrostic poems I've seen. I'd always thought they were for slackers who didn't want to write anything worthwhile for a school assignment. Yours, however, flows really well. Nice job.

Trust is the key to a long and lasting relationship. I like the set-up. You finish with a good ending. A question. A excellent poem.

What an amazing poem. Trust is essential in almost everything in life. It's hard to regain once you've lost it. It's a lovely expression.

trust me so i can trust you... and the other person says: no, no, you trust me so i can trust you... and it's an endless circle, one of us must be the first to trust!

A very meaninful acrostic. You don't see many of them anymore, or at least I haven't. You clearly have strong feelings for the person this is about. This also demonstrates the idea that in order to trust someone, you need their trust as well. I read this quite a few times, seeing new things each time. Really, an excellent job on this poem.

Yep...this was a good one, and I can believe when you say it wrote itself, because it is smoooooooth. One of the better Acrostics I have seen. Good subject and word pairing, good writing. I like.
