a lot of poems
create themselves according to logics that only
reveal themselves when you look beyond the
obvious appearance of intent to their
structural devices, hidden among the words like
treats
in a
cereal box or
something

I like this blp, very neat, and perhaps a little tongue in cheek? I love the acrostic form - perhaps you could add this to the acrostic thread?

I loved the last lines :

For me this is the perfect acrostic. Great job blp!

Thanks both. I wasn't aware that there was already a thread for acrostics. This was my (not very clear) attempt to start one.

Me neither!
I'm not familier to this form. But I liked this poem.
