He enters. Adversity rings.

Scent marrs each luxuriant lily,

Telling of untrueness. Carefully handling,

She intimates, gaudy heads taunting:

Tearful as sourness' treachery emerges.

    Ay Carumba, chumbawumba, this is artistry at its best. Love the acrostic lines, hate the reality of your evocative words. But, ultimately, bloody well done!

    Well-wrought and an exceedingly clever use of the acrostic form!

  • Whoaaaa, an acrostic of each of the senses! This was brilliant!
