scream
The world spins and swerves, like
Hell it’s so unnerving. what
Else can i do but hold on tighter?
Sky and sun burn my eyes. they’re too bright
Can i just lie down here and die?
Regret and fear mingle, the
Embarrassment too great. i was a fool –
Am a fool for taking it. i hate this feeling and
Myself. i scream and shake.
– an acrostic, written for a competition at allpoetry.com. represents a person on a bad trip for me. i believe this is the first acrostic i’ve written. constraints are interesting, but i’m not sure acrostics are my thing. the picture summons up such a strong image for me that fitting it into “the scream” is a nightmare.

Awesome I am not sure I have written one yet, but I would love to know your ID for allpoetry and I could give you mine if you e-mail it to me.
