Definition of an acrostic poem and its relationship to Gimcrackery
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.
Gimcrackery Give me something solid, consistent, and real Immerse me in color and bold, bright sensation Mediocre attention to every fine detail Constant crisis of a costly contradiction Radical difference in quality and style Artificial image of a brilliant design Cheap material that will fade, ravel, and fray Kaleidoscope of dull colors that will define Embarrassing flaws that can shine light and betray Remnants of flawed workmanship and subtle abuse Yielding the final damaged product of no use
