Definition of an acrostic poem and its relationship to In Cold Tones.
An acrostic poem starts when the poet uses the first letter of each line of verse to form a word, phrase, or sentence. The poem deals with the subject of the letters selected to form a stream of thought. The poem doesn’t have any rules concerning meter or rhythm. A poet may try to do both, but there is no rule regarding how the poem should be formed, except the first letter of each line must have a special meaning.
In Cold Tones
Invisible shades of color
Not seen by the closed naked eye

Essence of color in cold hues
Sanguine singer stuck in the mire
