CayCay Godwin June 6, 2026 at 10:19 PM VERY creative and cleverly impressive. I don't believe I've seen a poem formatted this way. Maybe you should name and claim this form. (or am I just unaware or its existence) CayCay Alison A Smith June 6, 2026 at 10:33 PM It's called a mesostic acrostic. Where the word is down the spine. Very hard to line it up properly on here.

Gary Radice June 6, 2026 at 7:10 AM Clever. Love the spelling of Polarity Alison. Cheers - Gary Alison A Smith June 6, 2026 at 2:56 PM Very hard to line it up. Thank you for your dropping in.

David Crandall June 5, 2026 at 9:17 PM Interesting philosophy - stay open to both extremes. I think I heard someone say that we all have both sides of everything in our being, and we should honor both sides. Alison A Smith June 6, 2026 at 12:03 AM Thank you for your muse on my poem
