Power

Paper people putter about
Onlookers to inhuman screens
Watchers of those queens and teens
Enthused, amused at others tout
Reaching into an empty drought   

Lesson:
This is a combination of Acrostic 
and Spanish Quintain or Quintilla
rhyme scheme a,b,b,a,a
It is suppose to have four feet
not sure if I gave it its proper shoes though..
Ha!! Ha!!..It does have eight syllables per
line..Not sure if it does its du, dum or not..

Sponsor: Poet Destroyer A
Contest: Acrostic # 1
