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
