Definition of an acrostic poem and its relationship to Tiny Clouds of Smoke
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.
Tiny Clouds of Smoke Twisting and turning In spirals of white Northern fire burning Yesterday’s delight Clouds and whisps of smoke Lifting in the air Once they make you choke Ultimate despair Devious in design Sedentary ghosts Ominous benign Ferocious spirit Spent in tiny bursts Music on the wind Oppression defined Kaleidoscope spurts Ever-changing hosts
