Very nice. I didn't even notice the acronym, a tribute to the writing being smooth.

Very nice! I didn't see the acronym, either
Great poem, very well written!
Great Teaser but very easy.
For me anyway.
I read the first 2 lines and decided to look at the 1st letters in each sentence.
And from there.....

Awesome Grilled Cheese!! You write beautifully!
Very nice. I didn't get it right, but I really liked the poem. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
Beautiful poetry. Another great riddle Grilledcheese
I gotta go with WildcardAl
I have never heard of acrosticness
Anyhow I guessed darkness 1st,
the moonlight shadows. Did not
see the letters going down to spell
it. The essence of the poen captured the mood, I got it from
that VERY NICELY DONE

Very nice, clever. I studied it hard but couldn't solve it. Thanks, do it again.
For WildCardAl: I didn't notice the acrosticism either. Ha!

That was a great one! ...Made doubly great (for me) by the fact that I got it right! Great job!
Good one! Didn't get it--and I love acrostics!
Folks, please stop mis-using 'acronym'.
Examples of acronyms are AIDS, NATO, and SCUBA i.e. the initials of what it stands for form a pronounceable word.
Hope no-one is offended by this piece of instruction; I'm a teacher seven days a week, so it's hard to get away from that mindset!
Again, the riddle was lovely!

That's pretty cool! I don't know what acrost means, though, so I'll have to look it up.
THAT was REALLY good! Totally didn't think about that. Funny how some things are right there--- under our noses.
good one cheese... i got it rite away and noticed the acrostics... you have a way with words that cant be explained... keep 'em coming
I was so smug and thought I had it right off with "fog". And all the time the right answer was staring me right in the face!!!
Excelent. Writing Teasers is an art, and this one is very good art. My first guess was the clouds.
If you never get money for your teasers, you may want to write a poems books

Wow... a some people must have taken this from you... if you do a google search of it, there's some sites with this same riddle. I'm sorry that people stole this from you.
Too bad 'cause i wrote this one. So i would appreciate it if you stop posting the same bad comment on my teasers. thank you.
Actually, I was sticking up for you... I don't see a reason why people steal your teasers and put them on their own site.
wow... i wasnt even close xD
Really well written, a little jewel.
I never noticed the initial letters, but got it anyway. Great job.

Stumped me, missed the answer in fornt of me. Good teaser!
Very well-written! Thanks for posting!
Knowing the thing that makes you cry
Night is full with my essence
After that, I thought I KNEW it was "dreams"
And I guessed early

Why does darkness make you cry??? Nice poem though and I am a poet myself.
It's beautiful poetry, but not much of a riddle. Very obvious, even without the acrostic..
Very cleverly written! And, Wordmama, back in 2007 you correctly those who kept referring to this as an acronym. I especially appreciate seeing a correction to something in the English language when you notice a mistake. People shouldn't be offended by being corrected. Thanks for doing this! And, thanks grilledcheese for posting this!
in above comment, "correctly" should be "corrected".
Absolutely beautifully written. Just wonderful.
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. I got it very quickly. The "Eternal Life" line gave it away for me. I didn't even notice the word "Darkness" hidden in there.
