What A Poet Said (Acrostic)

What is it that you write here on this page
How do you manage these words so scrambled
And sometimes people think that they make sense
These words so carelessly flung hither and tither
And yet, when ever so closer we shall look
Perhaps these words twist and twirl, a dance
Or so it seems, to some distant unheard music
Ever onwards, then upwards and outwards
Til finally they reach their final destination
So my friends, it is there I will leave you
And bid my final farewell, Adieu, adieu, adieu
I am gone, finished, concluded
Departed, left, not here

Most clever Steve. I was afraid it meant you were leaving.

I summoned the guards and a legion of castle hounds which had nose to ground ready to search you out and drag you back kicking and screaming.

We were even prepared to cast you in the dungeon and feed you the dungeon special..(poached rat on the rocks).

Thank you Redex

Thank you CloudySky

Thank you LadyMorgana60

Thank you adjhe ... look forward to reading yours

Thank you cafetwo2010 ... had I known that poached rat on the rocks was on the menu I would have tried to escape just so that I could be fed that delicacy ... the only thing I like better is battered rat on a stick

I know exactly what you mean Steve, I think as regards the english language I'm a bit of a pedant yet when I'm reading poetry here or elsewhere I have learned not to get too hung up on typos or 'Americanese'

But sometimes poems have so many tenses and people trying to use nouns as verbs etc.. it just does my head in and I exit hastily!

Nicely written Sir Steve

I know what you mean Ladybee42 ... I try not to make errors however we are all human ... but some of the poems I sometimes read either here or elsewhere leave me astonished as to how the English language can be so butchered
