When you seem to be moving forward
You are actually stepping back
When you think life is getting better
It actually is getting worse
When you feel you have found love
You're actually falling into this pain
SO, when you try to read my username
Acire is Erica the other direction
The girl I thought I'd be with always
In the end, lost in lonely days

Yikes   that as gay

Hey, neat story behind your name, Acire.  Does it ever get depressing though, being so constantly reminded of her?
I was wondering what your name meant!  Thanks for sharing.

When I first heard where you got your name, I started just reading it as "erica", and now that just how I think of it.  If anyone ever asks me to write erica, I'll probably write acire.  That would be funny.
Yeah, anyway, nice job of telling this in you poem

I think that was great!!! I know love can hurt, I have been going through a little rejection lately myself. I guess he just didn't like me like I thought he did   Oh well, hope everything is working out good for you now. Your poem was really good, keep it up!

LOL @ Dopey!!


How come it is so easy for a person to say "I hate you," but it is so difficult for someone to say "I love you" and really mean it????

LOL, dopey... I WANTED TO SAY THAT!!!
But yeah this was actually pretty good.  I was wondering what the hell Acire was.  I almost looked it up at one point... I'M GLAD I DIDN'T.

Wow. Acire. I really was wondering 'bout your name. That was real crafty of you to use your sorrow and trun it around like that.
Situation sux tho.

Nah, that's not 'gay' acire.. I think this is beautiful.. I'm sorry, but it's good that it doesn't bother you.   Some great ideas behind this one..

In terms of improvement, well the piece from "SO.." is perfect.. but I think perhaps the piece before it sounds a little.. like a filler before your ending? instead of building up to your 'point'
I think that if you spent a little time refining the introduction, perhaps concentrating on the positioning of little words like is, are, etc.. then this could be an amazing poem.

this sounds lame but i enjoyed the read...like Yu lan, i think you have some cool ideas here and i think that if you go on to elaborate these ideas(particularly the part before SO), this can be an even better poem

Hey,

   Aww that’s so sweet :'(  well I like the name Acire although me and another netpoet think its pronounced different so excuse my stupidity but how do you pronounce it?(okay I seem to be in some kind of weird mood I am in school listening to classical music and reading poetry) Until your next poem

Haha, Javi!!

I guess I'm just not very observative.. I never saw that, and I probably wouldn't have knowing me.  That's neat about how you got your username.
Heh.. thanks for sharing.

Ok people, let's let this poem die now.  It was never really meant to go this far, just a quickie to explain where i got my name from a challenge

Boo!  

I thought I'd flick through all your old work and here is what I came across. Nice poem to explain the significance of Acire. You did a good job of this one.
