Here's my critique, as you requested in this thread: [link]

Even though you didn't specify your age in your profile, I get the impression that you're in your young to middle teens. (Forgive me if I'm wrong.) Working from that basis, this is a mature and well thought out acrostic poem.

There's one minor typo: perseverance has only two r's. And three of your lines end with the word it, which is a bit distracting. (The first one, on the O line, isn't even necessary).

But overall, I applaud your sentiment. Writing well—whether poetry or prose—takes more than just tossing words on paper (or on the screen); like creating any other worthwhile art, it requires effort. I'm especially impressed with Time to think about it. Most wannabe poets believe that the first words to spill out of their minds are precious and golden, whatever they happen to be; how dare anyone ask them to consider revising them!?

In fact, the more I consider this piece, the more I'm convinced that it deserves a fave. Excellent work.
