An Ode to Your Poetic Agility

  
  

   You amaze me with you poetic
   agility!
   Whether 'tis read reclined or
   nestled with birds,
   I verily applaud your sublime
   nerve-stimulating mind-challenging
   great gobs of talent!
Zulu warriors shouting Bantu in Zululand could not prod me from it!
Zesty Xanthippe's scolding I would eternally endure for it!
Zurich Lakes of pristine glass nestled in majectic Swiss mountains of chocolate could not lure me from it!
Zillions of blood-sucking leeches hanging from my eyelids could not dry my tears when I read it!
Zebras attacking me on the Serengeti plains with their stripes in unison could not blind me to it's meaning!
Zookeepers with drugged dart pistols could not capture and cage my passionate love of it... and finally,
Zigzagging zeppelins with yellow zippers doing the can-can dance over France could not distract me from it!
   Yea, I say nay!
   Always will I obeisiantly lay at your poetic feet (looking up)!
   Whattothereforethouforaretheewhenhapchancethebarbledaups?!
   Now, or alas, never, I will die!

    Your writing never fails to bring a smile to my face. The most original and interesting acrostic I've ever read. I didn't know their were that many "z" words you could successfully use in a poem. Great work, as usual. Write on! God bless and take care, Sim.

    Edit: I almsot forgot...I'm definitely bookmarking this one.

    I think this is just freakin' fantatsic. Your first and last acrostic huh? Damn! I'd sure hate to see what you would write after you've had a few seasons under your pen. This is really creative and your have penned it with humor, style and definite grace. You are such a show off! To not applaud this is a sin. Good luck in the contest!

    Oh now that's just plain cheating, lmao, but funny as hell considering what the acrostics would say. I didn't think there were that many z words that could be successfully used in a poem... hmmm. Interesting. lol. You get kudos for originality, that's for sure
