Question: Is my first attempt at a double acrostic acceptable!?
Another Day
by Elaine P

Tomorrow will be a day of trust
Returning to the quid pro quo
Every poem gently falling manna
Around the poets' shattered hearts
Songs will resound as they sit
On the floor of their communal dome
Never again will any be deleted!.

I will try to make the next one rhyme!. Now, I just need to know if I've done it correctly!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
This is acrostically acceptable, but has its weaknesses!.
1 - Quid pro quo obviates the need for trust!.
2 - If their hearts are already shattered, manna won't help!.

Of course, I am probably missing the entire point of the poem!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
