[L]ove, the feeling we seek
[O]n every sort of scene
[V]ow to take and seize
[E]very piece of expertise
Join us in figuring out
oaths that we shout
his heart was a drought
no telling when it will sprout.
------------------
[M]en of every age and type
[A]che to cease any tire
[K]nown to all over time
[E]yes keep him tied
[S]ight lights the fire
Joyous even when old
owning her heart as gold
hearing only what hes told
neutralizing the cold.
------------------
[Y]earning for the chance
[O]f a loyal romance
[U]p towards the glance
..so begins the trance..
Joyous times to have had
odyssey love-clad
hormones in this lad
numb all that is bad
------------------
[D]reaming of you
[I]nvents new reason
[Z]ooming in on heart
[Z]est filled with season
[Y]onder is our start
..no talk of treason..
[Dizzy is what happens
when somebody you love
has made you flush a blush
sending blood far above]
Author notes
This weirdly formatted poem gives a description of many different kinds of love and in the end spells out to why love makes you dizzy. Any part of love could make someone blush, bring on the dizzy "daze"!
I decided to try to make people dizzy by writing this poem in different ways and not being 100% clear in what I'm talking about in each place 
I'm starting to think that maybe I was dizzy when I wrote this

yes maybe weirdly formatted but hey, it has great meaning in something some may find simple, but love is hardly simple. It is complex, so this is why I like the way you wrote it. I can see you have great talent and when I look into your poems from time to time all I see is beautiful wisdom & deep meaning throughout all your writes. And on top of that, advancing beyond the typical writes i come across at times.
The dizzy part was captured perfectly in words. nailed it. I loved it all.
Take care old AP friend,
I look forward to reading many more from you.

I dont know if you noticed but every single line was an acrostic the stanzas that i didnt highlight the first words spells out John

Yeah, you probably were dizzy when you wrote this but I liked it so I guess it's better to write things when you're dizzy, if that makes any sense *sarcastic face*. I think acrostics are wonderful and can be challenging at times. This one seemed like it came really easily to you for some reason. I also love how it wasn't just an acrostic and the fact that you actually explained yourself at the end. I usually think that a good piece of writing explains itself but this was good and yet it still needed that little explanation. How Odd...but I guess your poetry was always different and always stood up. Congrats on writing something good even though you were dizzy.
