Assorted Acrostics

In highschool, we were challenged to write poems that read the same up and down as they do left to right.

I wrote all of this in one day.

O how I love this boy

how much I long to see

I, I in his strong arms

love long his joy for me

this to, strong for my heart

boy see arms, me heart cries

~::~

The joy of owning a dog

joy boundless like the blue sea

of like a warm summer wind

owning the warm sloppy wet tongue

a blue summer, wet with seaspray

dog, sea, wind, tongue, seaspray, joy

~::~

How much do I love you?

Much more than you can know.

Do then, tell me much more

I, you, me, we are one

love can, much are we together

you know more, one, together forever

~::~

What things do my future hold?

Things that are unknown to me

do, are things set in stone?

My unknown, set before my heart

future to in my eyes hold

hold me stone heart, hold tight

~::~

Why should I write a poem?

Should I follow the lover’s trend?

I follow the stars to death, write the stars in my eyes,

a lover’s to my aching heart,

poem, trend, death, eyes, heart, cry

~::~

How can I know what’s real?

Can I ask some wise man?

I ask how do I know

know some do help me now

what’s wise I, me, we, you?

Real man, know now you are
