W onder winkling in wine-washed windows while witches
H ang on harbingers of healing hurricane heartshine
I llusions invoked intervene, interrogating icy imp imposters
M iraculously mistaking monsters for men making
S eriously salacious songs to serenade sunk sirens sending
Y owling yare yawns of yabbering yearning

For this, I thought I would try combining an acrostic poem and a tautogram. I have been seeing so many acrostic poems lately, with the VOCAL acrostic challenge, I never made it around to trying. It was a lot of fun to test this out. I am sure I am not the first to do so, and I won't be the last.

CH 20~ Party Down
Argento’s ninth (eighteenth in earth years) Birthday came and went Thursday, the thirteenth, and he’d already received his father’s gift, if you could call it that. You had to commit a fairly serious infraction to be cut off; the Arch-Baron was keeping up appearances and maintaining his own reputation as much as any sense of love or attachment to Argento with his “gift.”

Oh, another wonderfully done poem <3 Love this Wonderland twist on the acrostic.
I really love the combo - I think it works so well together and there is such wonderful wordplay here.
Enchanting and inventive, a spell of whimsy woven through wordplay.
This acrostic poem and tautogram combo is pretty cool. I like how you played with words. It does seem like a fun experiment. Have you tried any other wordplay forms? I'm curious if this could be adapted for different themes.
