Monocrostic Meaning
The letters stand in silent ordered row,
A hidden word, a secret to unfold,
A vertical descent where meanings grow,
A story whispered bravely to be told.
Each line begins, constrained by what's above,
Yet strives to weave a thought uniquely its own,
A tapestry of language knit with love,
Where surface structure deeper truths has sown.
Is it mere game, a clever twist of phrase?
Or can this form a profound message bear?
Does the constraint ignite creative ways
To speak the heart, to lighten heavy care?
Perhaps the puzzle sharpens what we see,
And binds the form to its intended key.
