Alas, my acronym left me with a single line, tantamount to a dangling participle. What to do with a line which has nothing with which to rhyme. Forsooth! This never would have happened to the bard! Submitted to dVerse Poetics Tuesday, Januiary 19, 2022

FORSOOTH
Titillating acronyms capture the mind
Hopscotching from word to word
Each is carefully considered
Savoured, repeated and heard
Aliterations, activations, and such
Undertaken to coin the exact choice
Rendering the ditty so pretty
Upstarting until poets rejoice….
Stunned! Satisfied! Scintillated!
Well - you certainly know your way around a pretty ditty, Bev! I really enjoyed reading this :)
