Question: Acrostics seem to be appearing lately!. Have I followed the trend!?
NEWBORN
Becoming transient!.!.something I'd
rather not remember,
everything I knew,
all gone, stripped away!.
Treated like a child, as
helpless and ignorant
even though my soul is old!.
Forgiveness!?
Oh, they do not know, or
regard that concept,
they are so caught up,
helping themselves,
eternally swimming upstream!.
Midnight's call does not enchant them,
only offerings of gold will do!.
Many I have seen fall by,
eclipsed by their rampant,
negligent passions!. Even
though I am merely a child!.!.!.my eyes are clearer than most!.
Author's Note - This is not a reflection on myself in any shape, form or fashion!. I merely wonder at the wisdom of the very young!.!.!.and how we overlook it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Each line has a meaning lateral
Verily I tell you true!.
And then there's one that's vertical,
Do you know what to do!?
Never think you've seen them all
Every one has meaning new!.
It's just a way to help us think
Like music, art, and nom de plumes
Unless you push it to the brink
Variety adds spice to life
Under our Father's roof are many rooms!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
