Order (inspired by Ancientone's acrostic)

 

 

Obligatory mental strait-jackets
Repress mind's joyous leaps and flows
Demanding obedience to dogma
Ecstatic creative flow trapped in a
Requiem of thought

Ack, Acrostics!

I have written one in my life and I abhor it - it was written on a challenge. You, on the other hand, took it and made it seem natural. Not only does the Acrostic work in form, it actually has meaning - something most people lose when they attempt this structure. Best, Ronda
