O for picking poetry's fruit,
Permit not plush lyrics to mute
Overflow with the wondrous words
Enthralling each~ the singing birds
Tidbit with rhymes a twisted heart
Returned to right and fresh found start
Yodel yeah a truthful message

O, Poetry …[February Contest] "Acrostic Rhyming Alliterisen"
About This Poem
Last Few Words: This is a piece composed based on Dr. Udit Bhatia's form of poetry called "Rhyming Alliterisen" which usually consists of 7 lines, with 7 syllables each, and has one alliteration in every line. The rhyme scheme as follows: aabbccd. I however did some modifications to it. I added one more syllable to each line (so there are 8 sylables) I also introduced an extra level of challenge by stipulating the piece acrostic, so I gave it the name "Rhyming Alliterisen Acrostic" Hope you like the form and how it is excuted. Best regards

Very nice piece
Rula- you have more concentration on form than I think I will ever have. Kudos to you.
my fav line: "Overflow with the wondrous words"
Hello Ray
And thank you so much for your kind words.
I've been always interested in trying different forms of poetry, but I think this month's contest and inspired by sir Alan Jeeves's innovative form raised the challenge.
Appreciate your kind visit.
Hello sir Alan J.
I can't thank you enough. Your innovative form raised the challenge in this month's contest indeed. And that line that you have agreed on with Ray makes me believe that one word sometimes makes a big difference, doesn't it?
Again, thank you for your continuous support.
Dear Mark
Great to hear from you. I think I am obsessed with structured and rhyming poetry more than anything else.
I will be so happy if you give this form a shot, I am sure you'll do great.
Thank you
What a compliment
dear sweet friend. You've touched my heart with your words. You still have the whole month to write in different forms. I've never doubted your talents.It's always great to write out of your comfort zone if you want to improve with your poetry.
Appreciate your kind visit dear.

Dear Lavender
I very much appreciate your kind visit. It's my pleasure to know that you like it dear.
Hi desert flower
Acrostic are a pain in the rear. But to make them rhyme is even worse(I know because the few times I've done acrostic I made them rhyme as an extra challenge) But you went beyond by stipulating a certain syllable count....I bow
Dear Stan
Great to hear from you and yes, it wasn't really easy but it's really worth the time and the effort I think.
Your visit means alot. Looking forward to reading your entry for this month.
Thank you so much.
alas
my pen is running dry. Seems lately all I can do is begin a poem but can't finish it lol.
