Acrostic

The title says it all.

 

Acrostic is the poetry of titles, line by line,
Caring not the rhyming, more the rule of left-hand spine.
Reading lines East and West gives meaning to each tine,
Oriented North and South hides the word for us to mine.
So, many take the challenge and thoughts they do entwine.
They create for us the prose and poetry we so enshrine.
In such works we often find full body, like a wine,
Carefully plucked words, become the grapes from the vine.

Wow this was really well done and said! Perhaps mine isn't quite as well as yours and fell abit dull, however this is a really good teaching tool I must say. Haha, so I love how it's about an acrostic using the acrostic style which is very cool. I mean, yeah it only makes sense to do it that way anyways, haha. Well done.

I'm not a big fan of acrostics, because often they become campy, or make no real sense as a full body of work. Yours, of course, not only makes sense, it is again a light way of teaching one how to write a good one. :) Perhaps I should not say I don't like acrostics, now that I like this one. As for caring not for rhyming, this one does, and quite naturally. I still don't think I'll be doing any acrostic writing anytime soon, though.

The title is certainly self-explanatory - it seems you've managed to entwine an acrostic within an acrostic! Now, if that isn't full body, I fail to see what is!

I especially love: "Caring not the rhyming, more the rule of left-hand spine."

"In such works we often find full body, like a wine,"

"Carefully plucked words become grapes from a vine."

~excellent writing~

This is great, Michael... a fitting tribute to the timeless acrostic... fantastic.
