Not In Love (Acrostic)
Not in love? He asked
Over and over again
There was a silence
Indignant towards her
Not In love? he asked again
Leaning towards her
Over the dinner table
Vacant look on her face
Evident that she meant every word.

A change in style from what I've read/heard by you so far Hazel, and I think it's very good.
I like acrostics anyway. I did one myself a couple of years ago and didn't even know it was an 'acrostic' until someone told me - didn't know there was term for it ha! I was just messing about with it!
Anyway, back to the poem. I like the stripped down style of it, it's direct but not dumbed down, works perfectly as an acrostic, and has a coldness to it which comes from falling out of love with someone. Nicely done!
