Perfectly poised, poets perform

Often old-fashioned outstanding odes

Ever expressing elemental emotions,

Tragedies, torments, terminal traumas,

Rather romantically remembering rough

Yawning, yo-yoing,  yet  yearning youth.

Clever stuff, and didn't feel artificial in the way some acrostics do.  Really enjoyed it.

Thanks for being quickly off the mark in giving me feedback, Jane. I am much relieved that this wee poem of mine seems to have passed the test.

Best wishes, Luigi

There's so much truth in this poem Luigi, every poet likes to express their feelings and I could certainly relate to that last line about yearning youth...though I'm not sure I'd want to be young now.

I'm perfectly poised to say I enjoyed reading your words.

Cheers Jenny. It is certainly true that writers express their feelings through their work but not always have these been experienced by the author himself/herself. I am often asked if my poems are autobiographical and, although they might have been inspired by true, or partly true events, in most cases they are not.
Although my youth is a distant memory, I quite enjoyed mine and it would be an interesting experiment to re-live it.

My very best, Luigi xx

Clever, combining acrostic and alliteration.... 

Fun to read!!!

It is a case of two for the price of one, Terry. As the income is zilch  there is no real advantage but your kind comment is ample reward. Many thanks.

I enjoyed this, this morning also, Luigi,. Very clever to get it all with sensible meaning too! Rhiannon

Always difficult to find the right balance but I think that this was OK. Pleased that you like my effort, Rhiannon. My thanks for your favourable opinion.
