Acrostically I Stand Tall

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 17th July 2019-07-15 Origin of the word Acrostic comes from Greek akrostikhis From acron (end) and stikhos (row or line of verse)
