Imprisonment
Real Poetic’s Anniversary acrostic challenge

another year of isolation
negotiating my worth, my value, begging you
not to disregard me
“invest in me, I’m worth it, please see”
venting, raging
eviscerating fear,
regretting, releasing,
scintillating tears
another year of isolation
realising my worth, my value, attracting you to
yclept me as part of you

I like how the first line introduced the concept of this poem right away. Great entry!
I hate that this is still happening for you. Powerful words. Congrats on the TS and good luck in the challenge.
Excellent… beautiful lines like: “ scintillating tears”. I’m with everyone else: yclept sure got me! The things you learn 😳.
There are so many cool elements to this poem! I love how the acrostic word of 'anniversary' plays such a large role in the content of the poem as well! And, like others have mentioned, 'yclept' was a fun word to learn! I definitely had to Google it! Awesome work!
Congratulations on Top Story! 🥳 Loved learning a new word (yclept)!
congratulations on TS. this one is well worth it.

The way you developed the characters and plot was masterful, making the story both engaging and thought-provoking. Your unique voice and perspective shine through, setting your work apart. It’s evident that you poured a lot of passion and effort into this piece, and it has certainly paid off. I look forward to reading more of your incredible stories in the future.

The depth to this piece is profound, Kayleigh. I read this yesterday and meant to come back to comment, so happy to see it in the top! Beautiful work, and GREAT word {yclept}—haven't seen that one in a long time!
I feel the words, been feeling like that lately myself. Heck, I thought 'yclept' was a typo. Baring the soul always wins. Kudos TS.
And congrats on Top Story!!😊
wow I also had to look up yclept.. This was so powerful!
A personal, relatable truth articulated incredibly well. And... "Yclept" wow... New word for me too!
Sorrowful and brilliant. Congratulations on Top Story!
