Three Blind Mice

Acrostic Poetry

 

 

 

The blind lead the blind
Hastily making decisions
Rarely taking the time to
Examine the long term
Effects of their iron hand

Blindly
Leading
Ill-fated
Nations
Down roads of destruction

Manipulating situations that cause

Irreversible

Catastrophic
Events

The blind lead the blind
Hastily making decisions
Rarely taking the time to
Examine the long term
Effects of their iron hand



The mataphorical perception with this writing is excellently conveyed in this regards, speaking our times,
one doesnt have to see the word: nation.. and still I think a majority of the readers would know what you mean in refrence to todays warring crisis, passionately enhanced acrostic design, i thought the ending put the fitting hitting nail on insight which reflects political angst, swat power and control, the idea of the blind leading the blind makes perfect sense in retrospect, considering how history repeats itself, Creative!

Metaphor is a wonderful tool. You use it well. I like the way you have so may layers in reading this. Each line is a sentence on its own and each stanza makes a complete thought too.

Great job.

[DrumMajorPod]

Wow. Just.. wow. I love how your poem seems to have a story of its own (maybe that is all a poem is--a story in a new format). "The blind lead the blind." That is SUCH a great line. I like the last line, "see how they run.." a lot too. And the fact that the initial s in the line is not capitalized makes it stand out. Great work. =]

This is superb just scathing sarcasm and yet the frustration, the pain and the anger shines through

[Jacquelene Vanessa More..]

i love this. the political message your sending out along with the moral. this is so strong, the last line set's it all into one. perfect touch

[An Ordinary Woman]

This acrostic is fantastic and the fact it's your first make it all the more remarkable. It is absolutely stunning and quite powerful. Excellent writing!

Remarkable poem and that it is an acrostic is quite amazing. Kind of a twist on a Steinbeck title
Of Mice and Men. Well done. a fave.

[Hedra Helix]

sweeeet, great layering of word sounds. great lead up to those 3 last lines of each lil stanzas that put the drop on the context and beat. me likeseys

[DaniElle LaPointe]

I think that if you had decided not to BOLD the beginning to each line it would be better... And I think that readers would delight in the discovery of the title within the body. Nice.... I am wondering.... Canada? England? US?
