"Reality"

A Sonnet/Acrostic

 For I am lost to this thy reality, 

 Oblivious thou are to conceive for shrive;    

 Reprisal arouses thine principle strive.  

 Sinister realm for true actuality,  

 Awakens to fallen sensuality;  

 Keen to embrace thine sought persuasions arrive,   

 Ernest the musing of arranging contrive;

 Necrotic seductions thy modality.     

 

"Sane!" thou say astute? I do not reason so!  

 And will not plead to incisive psychosis;  

 Needless to reply; bar I know that thou must.  

 I disrepute to thine reconciled bestow; 

 Ties schemed bond thou to thine apotheosis,   

 Yet, to answers sought, thou reply as nonplussed.

Now you know I could never write anything close to this. I see it is called acrostic. A sonnet is hard enough I have written three of them and notice none are posted on my page for good reason, people threw rotten fruit at me when I first posted one. I think your poem is outstanding and it deserves a nice bravo!

[Kaa Na Kalyanasundaram]

Beautifully written. Good job. With regards.

Powerful, and true.
I am in love with the old English, as always. For me as a Dutch lovely to learn...
Like I love to read Dante in Old Italian.
Your points are keen and wise. They mirror the truth.

Wonderfully done,

what a powerful acrostic!~ there's an epic feel of inverted mind scapes~ well done~

[Chris Smith Welshpoetcs]

A powerful Acrostic (I like the challenge of these). And an equally powerful message.

[Judy Ponceby]

Beautifully done, especially as you call it a rant :) Lovely technique also, unusual :)

[An Ordinary Woman]

Very nice sonnet-acrostic, Tommy. Superb, actually. I've never seen anything quite like it. Excellent writing!

[TAO]

Wow... I hate acrostics... They bother me (only because I have a hard time with them). And then to combine it with a sonnet form...very nice, sir Tommy. I like the...old feel of this piece, too. Great work.

[Jūdan FyreHeart]

You've clearly put a lot of work and effort into this! It's a great piece with fantastic meaning behind it but I struggled with the olde worlde language a little bit. Like I said bravo on a great idea and clearly tons of effort though!

an acrostic sonnet! how very nice and inspired - creative, and well thought out!!! a big bravo for that! I must say I'm not too keen on the archaic language, I think there is a bit too much at times - but to be fair this is probably biased by my dislike of the word "thine" haha! a very well constructed piece that must have taken time and effort which I can only applaud!! nice work!!
