Flames seek you rise within Underneath burning away remnants Never seen by those who breathe to Eat the dead from the living heart and Revel in such ritual feast which brings All to dust sing innvoke the BloodCant Loves bleating heart adorning altar red Piling up the HeartBones Yon mountain man made shrine Reaving all hope its presence denies Escape from cannibal eyes Le Sacre Tonight [This message has been edited by ATelamon (edited 02-10-2001).] |

Aside for your propensity for acrostics, and your obvious ability to master the form, you've got a pretty intense message enfolded here... My favorite lines..."Revel in such ritual feast which brings/All to dust sing innvoke the BloodCant" Nicely done, ATel... Waft every crest upon your destined sea. Embrace the Wave of Serendipity, Lest its elusive arcane ecstasy Refurl with sail for all eternity. |

Why thank you for your reading and comments. I appreciate you reading these. As for mastering the form, I do not know about that, I just posted an acrostic as first post and decided to see how long I would or could keep that up. Just a phase I guess. I really appreciate your words on intensity of message. To me that outweighs form by far. I enjoyed your doubleA and palindrome poem. There is a reply beneath. I do enjoy the formats with a greater potential of mult-dimensionality. Thanks again. AT [This message has been edited by ATelamon (edited 02-10-2001).] |
