    New acrostic thread

    OK. Spring, the season of renewal and Olly is pushing out another of his bound to fail ideas, Ox.
    I start by posting an acrostic poem, here it is,

    Languishing in languid pools
    Of tears, inhabited by fools
    Versifying, trying tritely,
    Endlessly, to express politely
    Some indication of
    Lasting and endearing love.
    Abstaining from society
    Bowing to propriety.
    Opening doors to
    Use for walking through
    Remaining faithful in adversity


    Now I am a silly old romantic, so that's my take, lets see yours using the same starting letters
    Then, when we have three more poems, (Completely arbitrary) some one posts a new poem

    OK let's try something simpler,

    Healing is too simplistic
    Always feel antagonistic,
    Time and again I feel
    Everlasting, never heal

    He always said, he'd never go
    And until he did, I didn't know
    That he was a fuckin' creep
    Expired love, I feel cheap

    Hard and unyielding
    Antagonistic feeling
    Taken to extremes
    Even invading dreams

    I like the personal element in yours AA, can't seem to get that even thinking of a specific instance.
    Any suggestions for a new word? I keep coming up with things like love, hate, pride and feeling that in a way something more mundane might be good.

    I don't know if anyone can just start er what, but here's one.

    Crumply folds melt on my tongue
    How I love to eat cheese
    Especially when there isn't mold on it
    Extracted from essence of cow
    So many delicious flavours
    Except blue cheese, I'd rather eat bung

    Let's see if my above post is deleted without explanation. Wouldn't be the first time.

    Nice one Caelum, definitely more mundane, mind you I do like blue stilton.

    Creamy Camembert
    Hard Cheddar
    Exceptional Edam
    Excellent when hungry
    Sliced, diced or grated
    Especially melted on toast

    A lot of e's in that word arn't there?

    Pills are crushed and lined and popped
    Alochol consumed
    Ravers crash and flail about
    Time is gone too soon
    You're invited to my party

    Tried and failed to write about cheese.
    Which is ridiculous. I love cheese.
    And I don't party. But there you have it.

    Perhaps I'll partake,
    A real time, this time,
    Real enough when things stop spinning,
    Trembling on the boundaries between,
    Youth and desperation.

    My words must not be extreme
    Or offend those who others do offend,
    Demand changes, deadline or an end
    Even when I want to scream
    Reason must always prevail
    And never run dragging my tail
    To others in the same boat
    Even when it gets my goat

    Now there is a word that someone should have a different take on!

    new one:

    Ho, ho, ho! What a joy to be watching it,
    Unusual gags and a bundle of wit,
    More than a laugh! So hilarious,
    O, the ol' comics are nice, not nefarious!
    Up to snuff, were Cooper's, Baxter's and Dodd's
    Ridiculous is the word for the new comic clods,

    Arthur Askey, Tommy Handley and more,
    Not offensive like those ones I abhor,
    Dancing and swearing, for them, comes before,

    Wisdom, Whitfield, Wilson were better,
    Impeccably crafted; every word; every letter,
    Sykes and Sellers, such fabulous actors,
    Djalili and Deayton just lack these factors,
    Old classics like Ronnies Corbett and Barker,
    More witty than modern day stuff, which is darker.

    Alexander Armstrong, Ben Miller aren't funny,
    Not amusing, all they want is the money,
    Dreary is modern tosh, not all bright and sunny,

    Jimmy Tarbuck and Brucie, the great entertainer,
    Oh, don't think I'm just being a stupid complainer,
    Crudeness is all from the loathsome Frankie Boyle,
    Us? We want classics to return, they won't spoil,
    Levels of comedy in Britain today,
    Are deteriorating quickly, and now I must say,
    Rubbish comics that haunt our screens all the time,
    Ire-making, infurating, in a way it's a crime,
    That's why I say that we should complain,
    You should be proud of old comedy, so start to campaign!!

    BRING BACK OLD COMEDY!!!!!!!

    IMAGINATION

    I
    ndeed here we are
    May we proceed and far
    Armoured to devour
    Guarded with its power
    Intended to revere
    Northern to you dear
    Always sound severe
    Told it once or twice
    Intented to front once
    Oh you who must be here
    Nourish it all for fear

    Imagine the world we live in
    Men with guns
    And teens with bombs
    Gods with eyes and ears
    Intent on doing nothing about it
    Nothing do they do
    At least that is what we think
    The future isnt set
    I wish theyd return
    Order from above we do need
    None of us can do it without them
