Orderly confusion is my little nest, X-ray vision is almost totally required; Yes, balanced insanity is needed, Minor disaster it could be called. Obviously concealed from a guest, Randomly organized till desired; Oddly, cleanups have not succeeded, Neat mess, I like my things sprawled. Important trivia I keep in a chest, Chaotic organization, an obsession wired; Obscene art, my clothes, a need seeded, Beyond infinity this beauty enthralled. Shabby chic is my forever quest, Expected surprises, second hand inspired; Small fortune spent unheeded, Sweet sorrow at times- even I appalled. Inside out, obsessed, oh I need a rest, Once again, oh gosh some neatness acquired; New routine, then my obsession for clutter repeated, (Oh will this clutter thing ever be resolved) _______________________ August 19, 2016 Poetry/Acrostic/Rhyme/Obsession Copyright Protected, ID 16- 819-750-0 All Rights Reserved.

Very impressive writing, "an expected surprise" with all around greatness, very difficult to achieve a rhyming acrostic with such elegance and flow, richly descriptive, should do well in contest.

Brilliant writing...I love the full bodied richness of your words...they are substantial, so fitting to the theme, and written with an intricacy that is stunning in detail and quite a hoot to read. The oxymorons were plentiful..that this is also an acrostic/rhyme...is extraordinary skillful.:-) A most splendid read, truly a pleasure. My best to you in the contest. A fave, 7+ and a great piece to learn from..thank you :-) blessings, lynn
