A Double Acrostic Experiment

Deep devious thought is requireD
On writing an acrostic of twO!
Under such circumstances yoU
Best take great care not to fluB
Lines or fail to follow a logicaL
Evaluation. Doubtless you’ll believE

All I say, should you try to write A
Competent composition and pedantiC
Research is definitely needed, foR
Only a few words will be fitting tO
Select, for you to achieve succesS!
Take care writing your attempT.
It’s needed for a good result.  Perhaps I
Can help, to avoid an Acrostic catastrophiC!

Rhymer. April 25th, 2016.
(A Double Acrostic is one where the ultimate letter of each and every line, matches the first letter of said line.  Not the easiest of acrostics to write, if a sense of continuity and logic is to prevail.  The next step of course, is to have a rhyming sequence added.  I shall leave that for another day!)

I enjoyed seeing your experimental attempt. it was a very fun read. I think I may have done one of these a long time ago. you should try a sonnet with beginning AND end rhyme! WElcome to Soup. My best advice to you is to visit those who comment to you in addition to always look for new poets to see. I find poets who comment to me in that list that says poets comments. Hope that helps ya!!(I do not use the reply button and rarely see messages sent me from this place where I make comments to poets

Very cleverly written Denis, I also just made up a different form will be posting it some time today or might even be tomorrow. It took me quite a while to finish writing it. A brilliant 7 and a FAV.
