And a Happy Acrostic Spring to You Too

And a Happy Acrostic Spring to You Too

Hard the acrostic order from above,
Aversion to form being this poet’s love,
Particularly this most pointless pursuit,
Proving one’s wit but in no way cute,
Yet once again to this I’m shoved.

Sure, I can start lines with a letter,
Positing rhymes to make it better,
Resisting all my former oaths (
Indeed, this form my being loathes),
Nettled by my vile surrender,
Glad my smile, the weak pretender.
