    Secret (short acrostic)

    I'm sorry for posting so little, but I wanted feedback right away after I came up with this for my English class..

    Searching for
    Eternity for the one
    Creation that
    Remains forever concealed.
    Each never to see
    The light of day.

    What do you think?

    I think it's a clever secret.

    I think the first two lines are a bit syntactically awkward, but I rather like the rest of the piece.
