Jonathan Robin Paris France - Links in a Chain - AP Guiness Book of Records Contest

R hyme echoes time as creativity
U nreels threads which sense and rich feelings skein,
L ends to life’s scheme light beam which bends prose plain,
E xtracts its pith with sensitivity,
0 utreaching limits, spurning gravity, -
F inding behind minds' veil tone, scale, refrain. 
F orm and free verse combine, fuel fancy’s reign,
R ejoice together pen with clarity., or lacking sense
E motions stressed show receptivity
E xpress through letters time and time again,
R evealing style, while from the chaff the grain
H as space to trace with due acuity
Y outh’s aspirations, age’s fears, and more, -
ME anings multiplied light facettes store.

L inks in a chain whose skein's one envelope
E ternal are verse archives which comprise
T he unique image of linked lines which prize
T he AP writers whose kaleidoscope
H ere's perceived through poets' periscope 
E ver commingling, creation verifies.
R esponses multivalent, enterprise,
E ach dedicates to add substantial scope
B efore those questions which, like bubbled soap,
E xplode between life's finger-thoughts.  Replies
H eld, questionned, challenged, or denied as lies -
O pen-ended inspiration's hope.
P erhaps the reader may make sense of maze,
E lect to add thereto, the world amaze ...

    Great work!

    Wow, that is quite an acrostic! I am impressed with your insights and you wording - I especially like your use of 'kaleidoscope' and 'periscope'. Great imagination in every line...you have a very delightful piece here. I have nothing to add, except to say, 'encore'!
