*My very lame attempt at Acrostic poetry. Am ready to face the tomatoes so fling it at the end* :P
She stood there like a morbid soul,
Her dull eyes showed no emotion;
And why would they?
Torn like a broken petal,
Tears rolled down;
Erratic she wanted to be,
Reality did strike her hard; she
Embraced her sorrow like a dear friend
Death was what she did not prefer
An Acrostic is a poem or other form of writing in which the first letter, syllable or word of each line, paragraph or other recurring feature in the text spells out a word or a message.
Rashi has written better ones though.

didn't know you write poems! :D And reality is such a bitch...I prefer to be in my own world :)
Not often.. But sometimes when i just get the poetic pen out and words flow...
I still havent been able to figure out what acrostic poetry is, actually just heard the term here (considering how I love poetry and put some on paper sometimes) but then again I could never figure religion too (I like to keep it 'simple'; but never simpler). Point been, STOP calling 'lines' lame as someone else on the other end reading it might feel offended, just like I did. This; IMO is by far the 'deepest' I found in the depth of your rhymes. Also, I already read the def'n you provided explaining 'acrostic poetry', and referred wiki too, from where your def comes from or vice-verse(considering the way wiki works) and I still dont care what the 'type' of poetry is. This was simply BEAUTIFUL, sad but beautiful. My kind of beautiful. Keep writing more rhymes, 4 dont do justice to this blog.
am flattered what can i say :)
