Alan...indeed very effortlessly...your fingers are blessed. Of course and quick and brilliant mind doesn't hurt either!! Wonderful acrostics for Painted and Echoes...
I did another one for myself...more of the truth...
Truth be told, she ruthlessly
Hides from the world, behind computers
Effortlessly bypassing those who seek to come
Rushing into her life…as the mirrored doorway
Evaporates she burrows deeper, never surfacing
Soothing herself with books and verse
Effervescent spirit hidden from everyone

LISA: WONDERFUL acrostic!!!!! Now that we know just how good you are at them - maybe we can coax you to write a few more? You can introduce anyone you want here - your pets, your family - heck, Starry even introduced her book!
BTW - after seeing your acrostic, I cannot agree with your line about a "vacuous mind"!
HARRY: I thank you also for encouraging Lisa to try this!
ALAN: This is NO place for protruding preconceptions! LOL!
HI DEAR TREE!! Thank you for your moral support and for your nice words of encouragement!! I like your ways, girl!! You see, I call My Novel: "Memories of a Woman." The "Amazone" is just another Story...I also have My Poetry stored in a book, which I call: "Poems and Meditations." I also have a Mystery Story, which I call: "Sleeping with the Enemy." Hugs and Love. Sincerely, Stardust.
Should I say I wish too ? LOL. What an extraordinarily bouncy young lady !
Anyway, I have rewritten your acrostic :
THE TRUTH OF BEAUTY
Efforts to believe in myself are Choked by a Hesitant soul struggling for breath Only not realising how Exceptional She really is ....
Lost inside a web of self-made lies In pain which would be erased by the truth Swallowing others' low esteem A lady of worth who has not realised it ... yet ....
Love
Alan
PS If this offends you, you may ask me to remove it and never darken your door again !
Dear Alan, why would this offend me? It is simply beautiful. I will tresure it always. Thank you so much for seeing in me what I cannot
LISA: WONDERFUL acrostic!!!!! Now that we know just how good you are at them - maybe we can coax you to write a few more? You can introduce anyone you want here - your pets, your family - heck, Starry even introduced her book!

Dear Lisa,
" Dear Alan, why would this offend me?"
- I did not really expect it to offend you, but in personal areas some peeps can be sooooo touchy - I find it best to offer to withdraw, cuz I would not want to impose my view of themselves on anyone, no matter how nice !
As to whether you "cannot" - you now have the clue - the truth makes you smile, feel good, lies bring you down, cuz they conflict with the truth one knows to be true inside.
So if ever you feel down, just ask yourself "Have I told myself some lies ?"
