Closed Form Poetry If there is a definitive conclusion, and the poet decides to use a specific pattern, such as meter or rhyme, the form will take on what is known as closed form...

Cirque du Soleil

Acrostic Poem

Come and spend a day or night at the circus in viva Las Vegas.

Contortionists and face painted entertainers gambol
In cadenced accord to The Beatles blare.
Roars and hollers resonated by
Quixotic spectators,
Undulations cavort as
Elastic limbs execute

Defying and daring
Urgent feats.

Swirls, twirls and whirls
On the trampoline floor.
Lights fade
Extinguish,
Inaugurating
LOVE at The Mirage.

Re: Cirque du Soleil

I usually hate acrostics, but I have to say that I love this one. ^_^ Very clever, and great imagery and description throughout. Excellent!

Wink Re: Cirque du Soleil

psycosis –I agree it’s not ‘one of my best,’ and I’ve never seen the show, still it was in me and I wanted to write it out. TY for the read and honesty.
