"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.

Another political rant about how our government has become over the years.

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!

"Ties schemed bond thou to thine apotheosis" I am a patriot, and a military wife; however, there is so much truth to this line that I try not to think about it too much. It makes me ashamed. Yes our politicians scheme and devise ways to become our God. Scary actually. Very perceptive.

Great Write! Bruce Cockburn once sang "The trouble with normal is it always gets worst". I have absolutely no faith in government, we are told what they do is for humanity but all I see is self gain or gain for who really lines their pockets! Well Done!

Very good :)

This is blazing truth.
You may need a security detail.

Wow, there is A LOT going on here! First the subject matter for this acrostic poem is so appropriate for current times, the choice of words are old-school and so complex...and then you put it into a sonnet...what poetry crack are you doing? Fantastic!

"Sane!" thou say astute? I don't reason so."

I must say this took some thought and doing to bend a poem to fit a style you have done well padowan
