These Are My JOTtings...

Acrostic: "Changed"

Each one awful, cruel to bone, laughs like snakeS
Bitter to the core, a bore with eyes myopiC,
Enough of coinage, heart of stone, a self-makeR.
Now a friend imploring comes with word volcanO
"Erase mistakes, your hardened heart, and moral VertigO!"
Zipping through the night the spirit shows FezziwiG,
Effusive giant gifts the day, but Comings squeezE.
Redeemed his soul to better be forever---
