Oh Caroline

Oh care, oh how much I have grown fond of you so dear, so much that I may shed a tear. Care I have grown fond of the laughter and times we have shared. C stands for conscientious nature; you’re attentive to details and that makes you special. A is for being adventurous and always seeking new challenges. You’re never afraid to take risks and to go after what you really want. R is for your ravishing and entrancing beauty. No world renowned model has anything on you;why? Because they don’t embody your overall presence. They say eyes are the windows to the soul; your ocean blue eyes match just that with many depths awaiting to be discovered. O represents your open heart that’s filled with endless generosity. Sugar isn’t sweet enough to describe how you were so kind to everyone. Your warm and infectious smile is enough to give anyone a toothache. L stands for lively and being the life of the party. Care your energy is so full that everyone in the room can feed off it. You’re like a magnet and pull us into your world and draw us in with your electromagnetic field. Next I stands for your independence because you’re never swayed by others. From playing video games to controversial topics you hold your own. N is for being nurturing due to you bringing out the best in those you care about. Love how you want everyone in the circle to play at their fullest potential. Lastly, E is for enriching because you make others’ lives more meaningful. You embody happiness to the tee; care brings something to the table that nobody else could ever imitate or copy. No matter how hard they try to recreate your individuality nothing beats the prototype. Whether you’re on the front line helping others or saying a funny punchline, I hope this is a sign that more beautiful memories will be made with my good friend Caroline.

What a lovely tribute to a friend! I like that you have used each letter of their name to think about qualities you appreciate. My suggestion would be to structure it more like a typical acrostic poem, where each line, or, in this case, each small paragraph, would start with the letter. To me, this would just make it easier to read, so it's a personal preference and not something you need to do if you are happy with the current format!

I appreciate the constructive advice. I will keep this in mind when I do another writing piece

Very good... Can I give a really honest review?

You are very... hard to read. Gives me damn headaches...

I don't know... give a space or two between lines...

Your writting looks like minced meat...

Sorry... not cool.

My bad. I'm gone!!!

[NelliKong]

Thanks for the feedback

[The_Ancient_Rock]

Thank you... and sorry.

I blame it on the alcohol...

Take care, be safe.

True friendship should be cherished as should any friend that goes out of their way to put pen to paper in tribute.
Nicely done

[NelliKong]

Thank you so much. I tried my best to make this piece the best description of them via writing.

[Gee]

You did a good job:)

Lilly explained it already. I will only add that a structured format makes it easier to read. Especially for those of us who are dyslexic. I know! Go figure! A dyslexic writer.

[NelliKong]

Thank you. I’ll take that into consideration next time

[D. Mansfield]

I like this letter approach to notice the positive attributes of the people around you.

[NelliKong]

Thank you. That was the goal to create the most positive outcome.

[NelliKong]

Thank you red I appreciate the feedback. Happy you enjoyed reading it.

What a lucky friend to be the subject of such a beautiful tribute. The detail and thought put into this is incredible, and really grabs you. The emotion is felt on each line. This could both work as it is, or as an acrostic. As it is the force with which the narrator is expressing their emotions comes through strongly with each revealed letter. I enjoyed this.

[NelliKong]

Thank you I appreciate it and happy that you enjoyed reading it.

[JustPlainHere]

It was my pleasure.

I was drawn in by the name Caroline as this is my youngest sister’s name and she also has a myriad of wonderful qualities. I enjoyed this tribute to your friend. Friendship is a cherished gift and I can tell how much you understand that by your offering here. First of yours I gave read NelliKong. Pleased to have stopped by today.

Thank you I appreciate this comment

[Chris Shaw]

You are welcome

[willweb]

Really nicely done. I like how the name is part of the poetry in more ways than one. here's hoping that there are so many beautiful memories that you lose count. : )

[NelliKong]

Thank you. I appreciate the comment; I'm hoping for more memories as well

[William Michael Reeves]

You've written a poem within a story. An Acrostic poem. That's a novel idea.

Caroline's conscientious nature
Adventures into challenges
Ravishing beauty
Opens hearts in generosity
Lively, living in a party
Independent of all the others
Nurturing potential with care
Enriching all embodied.

Finding a poem in a story is a fun puzzle. I like that idea. Like hidden treasure. Just like a good friendship.
