Reason A. Poteet Poet Acrostic

Sanctuary Found

S  S  S  S  S  S S  S  S         Surely 
A  A  A  A  A  A A  A         Arrogance has 
N  N  N  N  N  N            No foothold in heaven. 
C  C  C  C  C             Can conceit claim your favor, God?  
T  T  T                  They think You cannot see their callous hearts.  
U  U  U  U  U             Unfair! their lives are so easy.  
A  A  A  A  A A             At last, I see their end.
R  R  R  R  R  R R  R        Refuge, you are!
Y  Y  Y  Y  Y  Y Y  Y  Y         You reign!


an acrostic rictameter
inspired by Psalm 73:17

Paul Callus July 24, 2014 at 2:37 PM This is interesting. I have encountered both acrostic and rictameter forms, but this is the first time I've seen them combined. Well done, both as regards technicality and poem content. // paul
