Definition of an acrostic poem and its relationship to A Warning Glance
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.
A Warning Glance Aware that my eyes were following you Watching shadows, I attempt to see through And trembling from your hard treacherous look Reading marked pages in a storybook Nerves of soft steel and a backbone of glass Inspiration, an invisible gas Nestled deep in the eye of the beholder Giving us courage, making us bolder Glaring warning glance ending our safe play Leaving us languid with nothing to say Ambiance of a golden liquid color Natures last soft relic of summer Capturing our attention with a glance Evading winter’s furious romance

You do know that thea crostic poetry form doesn’t require rhyme or meter, right?
Yes, but i like playing with the sounds. It makes writing them more challenging.
