When I admired Toe's "Pissonet" he asked if I could write an acrostic. It's not exactly easy, is it?

Flowers
Laid upon my doorstep
Only to wilt in pain
Waiting for affection
Even weeds will die
Raising limp leaves skyward
Seeking what they need

I am not a specialist, but I appreciate your very intense acrostic and I am sure Toerag will love it too.

Love,
Margherita

Toerag is a man we all admire
Of all the poets here he is the best
Each line he writes is filled with strong desire
Resplendent with words filled with lust and zest.

As I attempt my feeble efforts here
Gathering my humble words with care
Somehow I know my offerings are mere
Attempts that to friend Toerag's can't compare.

Terrifying thoughts invade my mind
With knowledge of a fate I can't forestall.
I'd like to be the best but now I find
Toerag is the greatest of them all.

HE certainly deserves some form of attention,
doesn't he? Being such a lonely forgotten
fellow as he is...

Thank you Margherita. I am not a specialist either but I have learned it’s more difficult then most poetry. First you must wait for your muse to visit and then you must fill out an application to write in the acrostic form. She gave me a difficult time about it. Thank you.

Thank you passing shadows. :-)

“Toerag is the greatest of them all”
I like your poem Balladeer, as I am sure Toerag will.

Toerag deserves a lot of attention Magnus.
