Betrayal (an acrostic) edited

Betryal

Bending meanings you are
Ever the artist
Trying within your mind
Rationalizing and twisting every nuance
As you go after your desire, disregarding
Your loyalty and devotion
Always seeing to your own needs first
Love is eaten by the lion of your lust

i like this cat
very smooth transitions from line to line
but i found it a little hard on the eye and the smoothness of the write with the capital letters and space in the first words of the line

imho an acrostic shouldn't stand out as one - should be more subtle...
just me

lol - nothing else to crit
excellent as usual xx
love

Thank you for your time and feedback. I know your time is limited, so I am doubly honored. When is your workshop on Constructive Feedback? Am I too late to join?

I was supposed to put the chicken fillet inside the bra not as an inplant

A
Cup
Held snug
In my hands
Careful no spills
Keep the thing level
Even if the world spins
Now we can get to the point
Felt the world turn today
It was because of you
Laughing at my way
Letting me in
Each day

Hope this transfers as it should or I would have dropped a boob LOL
Take care Sparrow is the one to blame ????

Candlewitch

Nice acrostic, now you could really challenge yourself and make it rhyme lol...........stan

To raed is to oeby LOL:-

Make it Rhyme

Manipulating the words
Across spectrum's absurd
Keeping the rhyme flow
Enjoy the picture just so

Intigrated meters of joy
Titilating the mind's toys

Remember to let it sing
Have each line just ring
You can make exceptions
Many twisted deceptions
Even I may win in the end
