Wealthy I am! Can wager on vices
Eager they’re too to take me zenith
Avarice-whisky, anger-cigarettes and
Lust-harlots lined up to keep me afloat

good acrostic poem witha message. who is wealthy, one who squanders riches or the one who listens to hornpipes and treads cautiously in life.10 Mamta
Nice poem. Sir specially i liked the words which you have chosen for your poems. Its impactful and a true poet work. Good work.. Intersting piece. Something different. Ric Dhodi
poetry is brevity. i liked the way u chose ur words carefully.it was also interesting hearing u expressing ur emotions of anger the way u did.only a true poet and a truthful person can do so.
A concise and clear message! I also liked the last comment of Ms Mitra. - Raj Nandy
A well written conscience poem, i enjoyed it, the message of course is to banish these desires and leave all thoughts behind, and enjoy the happiness of Now.
Best to heed the warning - time to savor lifes true pleasures, not the false ones. Nice piece, well written. Linda
.....................interesting poem Sathya, but lost in translation I believe
Dear Sathya Narayana, Very very good poem. Plz write more this type of poem.
It is always a pleasure to see a well written poem in the acrostic form, Sathya, and you achieved just that with this fine write containing the 'hidden' message, 'wealthy.' As I have previously said, most poets do not write very good poems when writing an acrostic, as they are distracted by trying to conceal their message at the beginning of each line, even though acrostics are not all that difficult to write, especially compared to the 'Poe Method' style I prefer. Your fine and cogent poem was an exception, though, and I was glad to see that, as it make excellent poetic sense with the little bonus of being an acrostic poem. Carl. PS- For an example of what is known as a 'Poe Method' poem, read Edgar Allan Poe's poem, 'An Enigma, ' in which is hidden the name 'Sarah Anna Lewis, ' a woman he was enamoured with at one time. You can also read my poem, 'Who Am I? ' which has the name of a noted English writer in it. Carl.
Radiance of truth towards journy to the eternity...........briliant! .........10++++
Hornpipes......sounded to awake the sinners............! Nice writes.
A wonderful poem of being conscious totally not letting the vices touch u. We all must be so. Enjoyed it.
pragmatic advice. if wealth could buy happiness no rich man would ever be unhappy. tread carefully, before falling into this trap of avarice and debauchery. our conscious does warn, sad we don't pay heed. real wealth is in simple joys that cost nothing. good message compact, in just a few lines 10 mamta
Wealthiness never brings out any good in people...Wonderfully written and well thought out. Great write: -)
nice poem...........
