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..

OH, Sara, you are just one mixed up kid. Love the shoe pun and the last line of the poem speaks loudly.
