An Alliterative Acrostic posted for Chelsea Ann Owens Terrible Poetry Contest. The theme this week is: Verbosity. You have been forewarned…
Dare you hear the haunted humming of your heinous, heathen, heroin heart? As it whines, whispers, moans, meows, making love to your muddled mind..
Even in sacred, solemn silence- it mouths, mimes, meanders, melding wit with wisdom, it’s wanton wishes, willfully woo you with, and without words.
Cunningly the darling devil delights in its own devious desires- dipping, delving, deeper, deeper, desperate to draw on your personal penchant for privilege- pestering, pleading, plying, pulling- please?
It gropes, it grasps, it gathers, regretfully you dis-graciously give in finally, to its felonious, festering, frivolity- finishing your frolic with a familiar foray into faux forever….
So stealthily has it succeeded in ceremoniously sucking you in, so slyly you have been smitten, smote, stolen, sold. All attachments annihilated. Set adrift. aloft. alone..
In grotesque hues of envious green, grinning, glaring, gorging, gouging away at your still sensitive sane self, it splays itself, spread-eagle before you.. begotten, betrothed, bewitched, beguiled- be damned..
Openly, luring you with liberal libations, limitless ludicrous luxury, lovingly, lustfully leering, “look at me”… At last releasing, its succor, slowly, sensually, silently, seducing you. You succumb. Such sweet surrender….
Never one to linger, laughing as it lecherously leaves you.. You look longingly, lingering- lost… Addicted. Abused. Used-up. Useless.. Another unfortunate decision…
That is absolutely fantastic. And the proliferation of words so suit the subject; the addict seeking more and more and more and more, because once addicted you cannot be satisfied. Truly, this is fantastic.

I love acrostics. They are the easiest poem to teach to wee kids (in my experience anyway), but as a grownup you can make them into sophisticated expressions.
