Thanks For the Kaleidoscope

Keepsake from my dear kindhearted uncle Abroad he travelled, absent for so long Leading a fun life, loving his stories Extravagant and eccentric he was Idealistic, impulsive, that too Daydreamer by day, daredevil by night Openhearted and opinionated Sacrilegious yet scrupulous as well Colourful, mostly charismatic, yes Obnoxious at times, outrageously bold Pretentious as a peacock in his prime Entranced, how I loved epitomizing AP: Honorable Mention 2022, Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on June 20, 2020 for contest THANKS-ACROSTIC sponsored by BEATA AGUSTIN - RANKED 3RD and October 26, 2017 for contest END OF OCTOBER PREMIERE sponsored by BRIAN STRAND

This is such a creative one Line! Absolutely love how you created an acrostic in the middle as well and the alliteration effect it provided. Also, this is a really creative take on the theme. Congratulations on your win. Blessings and love :)

Oh I see what you mean now. You did it in the middle on the 5th syllable. when you did it at the end of each line, it's called double acrostic. I don't know if there is a specific name for in the middle, but I suppose you could say this is also a double one. Soupmail.
