 Topic  Fun anyone? 
 Message  Alright. This is where I invite eveyone to write an Acrostic poem. There are stipulations though so that it’s not overly easy.

The word you use has to be an inatimate object... like Shoes You know no peoples names or anyones Alias.

Try to avoid:
Those silly poems that has one word per line (i.e "S"hit "H"appens "O"ver "E"veryone )
Those silly ones with just a statement on eash line.

Try to make it flow like a simple free verse poems that just happens to line up to spell a word. Here is my example.

Souls are held together by
Harpstring melodies
Over the medow of
Eternity, showing me the way to
Simple existence and peace

(What do you think?)

 Subject  sorrow 
 Message  Sadness held within my heart
Over and over, because we are apart
Realize this pain is mine to keep
Releasing tears that fall all over me
On and on the song goes
While this sad heart cries, and the wind blows

 Message  Money is exchanged for deals gone bad.
Incarcerated are the homelss
Dying a life with little meaning. The
Nice people lock their doors, as
If it would do any good.
Gum: the scum on the bottom of your shoe
Holds tight for dear life. It’s
The midnight life.


i think the flow sucks on this but i had to give it a try

 Subject  Tales 
 Message  Tell an everlasting tale,
And make it last for all eternity,
Laughs, cries, the beauty which combines and intertwines with one another
Echoes will remain long after your gone,
Still after, the tale would be safe for all to hear...

(Sorry! I just had this one spur of the moment...)

 Subject  Fire 
 Message  Face my dreams and the taunts of others,
In its depth the fire will burn,
Reborn for all eternity, for all to see,
Entering the realm of no return,

 Subject  Crying 
 Message  Coping with death is a horrible thing while
Running on a burning lake,
Yearning for release from an
Indifferent life and
Not knowing what’s really happening in this
Game we call life

Across a hardwood floor,
Tatering all within reach,
Scratching to sharper her claws.

 Message  Wonderously photons bounce about and
Onto iris’ where some process in the grey matter
Renders molecules of paper and ink into
Descriptions of so many peoples, places and other nouns.
Such happiness.

 Subject  PICK & MAYO 
 Message  Perching
In panic, I hover, I
Cover, I cover the ground I
Keep between confusion and I

My desk is here!
A little scuffed and stained, but
Yeah, that’s what you get with a free desk.
Olympian liniment, I smear thee into waterstains and scratches.
Not too bad, it’s all shiny now
And my room smells like a deli, but without the bread and meat
I’ve got to shut the door
So my Leetle Dog won’t lick all the
Enticingness off, and torture the poor varnish worse.

Underneath the lowest level,

 Message  Grabbing at the wisps
Of smog that choaks and blinds
Nothing left of what we thought was here
Enough delusion to feed us reality through steam

 Message  Wonderous eyes, beautiful lips
Honoured only by a few she shares her being with
Original sin unleashed upon her body
Rebounding pleasures tenfold
Emptiness Now resides where innocence once lived

 Subject  untitled 
 Message  Loving the ones who care
Upon that broken heart of yours
Like a chord on broken strings
Love is but a mystery
A sin to those who do not care
By and by it will heal
You must let scar remain

 Subject  Water 
 Message  Pooled water, tip-toed depths
Purifying itself within each ripple
Mirrored images float along it’s serenity
Kept within the confines of it’s sandy walls
Baptizing every submergence
Hiding the secrets of each midnight dip
Tantalizing the skin, cooling the heated
Washing away the sins of passion, sins of pleasure
Cleansing our souls

 Message   Being scared never really crossed my mind
Eventually everything will work itself out
Neglecting these things, seems so second nature
Imagining another life, it became so easy to lose myself
Gifts like you shouldn’t be taken for granted
Never let them see you cry

[yes, i know, i am a tool, forgot a line on 1st post

 Message  Monster of greed.
Obsession of power.
Nemesis for the poor.
Expression of the state.
Years of yearning for the bait.
