BRAVO
this is one of the most original poems I've read in a long time and I must confess that calling it a SUCCES would be the most fair thing to do acrostics can be quite challanging if the poet knows how to satisfy the readers thirst for unexpected, for abstract sensation view from a unique perspective!yes sometime leaving the first letters of each line as a surprise can work pretty well but here, giving the style and the message, pointing them out like this adds a huge effect to the general picture!you point your name in such an obvious manner yet you leave a lot of mysteries about yourself within the lines!every word here has its own power yet they mean nothing if taken outside the context because what gives them power is their capacity of recreating individuality toghether!that brilliant shift from adjective to adverb and back like "silent/silently etc" plays its own intriguing part ,from the technical poitn of view: it gives continuity,holds the thrill and makes it all flow easily not only as sounds but also as images.splendid work here!splendid!
P.S: this poem indulged me to dare to ask you to check out my contest MONSTER PROFILE and see if you could get inspired. I would love to read something from you!
