Phantasmagorical

Phantasmagorical punctuates a surreal,
Hallmark feeling of wonderment—
A juxtaposition of
Normal and extraordinary
That is tethered to euphoria
And amazement, yet
Simultaneously anchored to reason in a
Mesmerizing, magical way.
A spontaneous exclamation of awe,
Generated by the sheer intensity
Of the moment,
Representing a feeling of
Incalculable wonder and fantasy that's both
Cerebral and physically overwhelming—
A merging of astonishment and joy,
Like winning the lottery or experiencing an epiphany..

Acrostics are hard enough but this word is an amazing challenge that you pulled off with apparent ease. There is a flow in the lines that seems so natural, acrostics tend to be more like lists of thought but this reads like a great poem, one doesn't even notice the acrostic.
