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

hi cat

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

Dear Ann,

I'm sure you would be good at any type of poetry you put your hand to. You have the way with words, the Midas touch with poetry.

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
