Question: An Acrostic about writer's block, what do you think!?
"Constipated"

Lo, I seek
A remedy for the
Xeric state of
Artistry,
The
Insufferably
Vacuousness of my
Every attempt at poetry!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I haven't the faintest idea what Xeric means, and I can't be arsed to look it up (to steal a phrase from my kids)!. Despite my ignorance this acrostic was still very enjoyable!. Now you've got to catch up - there's the double acrostic and the triple and quadruple and the quintuple versions!. I missed you - hope you were somewhere nice!.

Not sure here - isn't it 'insufferable' rather than 'insufferably' !?
I may be wrong, I have been many, many times beforeWww@QuestionHome@Com

Let go of any preconceptions
Any stereotypes, whether sexist or
Xenophobic, ageist or
Anti Druid
Tell your brain to think more shrewd
If you can overcome such views
Verily, I say unto youse
Enmity doth ill behoove ya
So it is with all effluvia!.

With acknowledgment to Frank, Biscuits, Shakespeare, and all the rest of the gang!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think it's all about
Fabulocity

It has to be in the form of genuocity

Having the words
And having the names is
Difficult

Always, there are gray areas to consider

However,
A rare and unusual
Melody can be
Manufactured with an
Elegantly crafted stencil
Restricting
!.

Brilliant!!!! Concise, crisp, direct with good cadence and absolutely on target! Clever use of "xeric"! This is what short, comic poetry is supposed to look like!

well done!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Just be careful about what you eat!. Plenty of Keats, Donne, Whitman should do the trick!. Avoid T!. S!. Eliot for a while!. He has the opposite effect!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Frivolous and reaching to
unknown depths I
never know whether to laugh or
negotiate with reason!.
You did it again!.
