Valentine Acrostic
Use the letters of Valentines Day as the first letter of each line to make a poem
Cupid Failed
Victim of your carnal delights
And whispered lies told at midnight
Love I thought would flow,
Even if quite slow. Now I know, ’twas not right.
Nights I sit and gaze in hindsight
Toward a future no longer bright
I turn the lamp low
Negating the glow
Even though dark gives fright.
Slowly daytime reveals the light
Daring me to find inner might
And revealing, shows
You let love go. Ne’er to grow, it took flight.

Note: This poem was built using an old Welsh form know as the CLOGYRNACH (claw-gear-NOCK). The clogyrnach is unique in that it can be built using 4, 5 or 6 lines, which made it perfect to reach the thirteen lines needed to do the acrostic.
