TOO abecedarian for my TASTE

Acrostics,for me are appropriate as a poetic learning tool but can be a little contrived,and abcedarian and lose their poetics,(when hidden by translation as with the Hebrew bible,Proverbs 31 and as a memonic ,as with the Christian fish symbol they have appeal), but in English, the letter capitalisation distracts my seeing eye and poetic enjoyment.
John Cage,typically,wrote poetic mesostic,acrostic variants but like his music I find conceptual beauty of his talent lies more in the simplicity of his piano pieces 'Dream' & In a Landscape'.
