This is brilliant - the content and the way you've made it rhyme ( which is never easy in acrostic poetry ) is really good. Best acrostic I've read in ages!

Michael, this looks very neat, the way you made it rhyme and all, but what does it mean????

(((hugs)))

Hello Ingrid,

I will explain...

Things that
are
knicked
er...
nabbed?
^
This first section 'Taken' was inspired by Ben's acrostic of the same name. I took the word literally and twisted it to mean I stole, or as I have said, 'nicked and nabbed' (both these terms mean to steal) his idea/ concept.

Attract
germinating grains,
affecting brains -
invigorating like
Novocaine
^
The final (Again) section is my simile of the excitement experienced when inspired by another poetical work. Cocaine would be the extreme simile of invigorated experience.

I am glad you asked.

((hugs))

I like the creative angle you took with this acrostic...

Novcaine numbs the brain but never the thoughts... Truly a deep little gem here... Love it

Quite interesting piece you wrote here. 5/5

Thank you, dear. I think it is time I knicked some ideas of our friend Ben as well!

Well done!

(((hugs)))

Ingrid, Michael - ideas are one thing, but executing them the way you two do is another!
That rap battle reminded me of my own work - just endless spouting of (oftentimes) nonsense!!
All the best you two,
Ben

IM glad I read the replies to clear up some of my questions! Very clever!!!
