I Ran Iran (An Acrostic Trigee, Alliterated)

Ok, this is an interesting attempt, but not exactly what I wanted. An Acrostic Trigee, alliterated. (Had to do it, Todd Bailey.) Felt like making it make a political statement while I was at it. I'm certain I'll try doing one of these again. It's like cre

I am truly inspired to............ Instigate another uprising

Reveal to you my radical........Really revolutionary idea:

Anxious new plan for you.......America has awakened and

Now that we've grown...........None dare stand in the way

                             

              

 

Author's Note

Several things here you may not notice if you don't look closely and are new to the form of the Trigee. I'm sure you all see the Acrostic part. The Trigee can be read either left to right, as a whole, or each of the separated parts can be read reading down. In this one I chose to play with the meaning a little in doing so, and make a political statement. The Acrostic message also changes the meaning a little. The Trigee is a new form, far as I can tell, and this is probably the first anyone has ever attempted as an alliterated acrostic as well. If you don't like it, blame Todd, who made me do it. :)

This is so clever! I can only thank Todd for suggesting it! You've pulled this off wonderfully!
I feel for the people of Iran. Their government is too inspired by Saudi Arabia's, I think. I cried so much when I heard about them hanging those gay Iranians. And that they're next on America's list.
The innocent people in the Middle East- is there no end to their sufferings? Rant over.
As usual, you write in a defiant yet elegant and respectful way. Your style is fantastic. It just shows how deeply and truly intelligent you really are.

Thanks for the info. I really don't know much about poetry.
I was looking at this for quite a while. It is a cool thing you have here.
Gives me a headache trying to figure out how you put all that together...........

I also like the revolutionary concept.
What part of America did you mean has awakened and grown? I think I know what you are saying, but due to your complex mind, I desire a clarification.
If you get time.
Great poem, by the way.

Um ... WOW! Very cool, Constance. I've never heard of this kind of thing before, but now I HAVE to give it a shot. Looks like it could be a lot of fun - much in the way that a million piece jigsaw puzzle (sans one piece) might be fun in a rubber room.

Well my friend...this can only confirm my previous observation....indeed your IQ MUST be higher than the number of lines times the number of ryhmes in "Canterbury Tales". (Geoffrey Chaucer is my 18th GGrandfather..if you can believe that!). So nice this is the hardest thing to write....I have tried and tried to do something that makes sense....and come up the nothing... Super job...you answered the call!!
Thanks,
Todd

This was really cool. I'll have to try it sometime. Thank you Constance, I learned something new this morning because of you! Have a great day.
