Poem

Acrostically speaking there is some confusion

Clear origin demands end of row execution

Rewritten meaning now calls for beginning

Of line emphasis for poetic underpinning

Start at the outset with succinct letter in mind

Then make form and message intertwined

In letters we trust because they begin and they end

Close disciples they are and all writers’ friend

At the heart of the matter lies imagination

Left aligned creations and no punctuation

Loo role lullaby and limestone are easy 

Yankee however tends to make me quite queasy


In ‘the good old days’ the artist had a thesaurus


Supplanted by google because minds became porous

Titrating trivial knowledge is no inconsequential pursuit

As rules and strict order demand for the gems to permute

Never say never when you compose an acrostic

Deference to dogma is not for a truthful agnostic


To acrostic or not ‘that is here the question’

A liking for puzzles helps with harmonic progression

Let us be clear some poems are pure nonsensical tosh

Lo and behold though even loo roles can be rather posh

Origin of the word Acrostic comes from Greek akrostikhis
From acron (end) and stikhos (row or line of verse)
