Predictable

?   

Poetry in such a way
Restructured from afar
Every thought that's on display
Don’t show them who you are
Instead of just the usual write
Concoct a brand new scheme
Touch the dark instead of light
Abort the standard theme
Become unpredictable
Leave all that stuff behind
Ending this one without love…  (bet that’s not what you thought you’d find)

Dark green! Dark, Green! Dark green, Green... So smoothly did you pen this, I had no idea that it was an acrostic 'till after I'd read it. Smiles, Gershon

Thank so much. It was hard to do but I managed to write about something different. : )

Spontaneity is as unpredictable as can be, even when it comes out of left field...like this one. Good chain of thoughts.

Thanks so much Lin. I figured the most unpredictable thing I could do was not write about love. : )

No, that is not what I expected to find from the best love poet on this site! A surprise for us Chris :)
