Monday Meme: Acrostic Poems

Strawberry brings us a new meme, and it's a really verbally creative one - Acrostic Poems are where you take a world, like your name or the name of a thing or place, and begin each line with that word. You can go for a more formal [letter] is for [word] format, or a much more casual use of the letter in the course of a poem, but all of them give you a quick and dirty way to describe something which harkens back to that inexorably. She encouraged us to do our names, maybe the words for Second Life or some other phase to describe our life on the grid. I was actually thinking about the words we use - how clunky Second Life is as a phrase, and how I tend to default to "the grid" when referring to it among people who know what I mean - wouldn't "The Grid" be a great name for a virtual world? So simple, yet so evocative.

D is for Dreamy; she lives in her head.
E is for Educated 'cause she reads in bed.
O is for Original: there's only one.
R is for Resourceful, though it's not fun.
I is for Idealistic! Lets save the world!
D is for Daft for her brains are swirled.
H is for Humorous - the bullshit is pure.
E is for Enlightened and she's so demure.

Seeing people here and there
Emboldened on the land and air.
Can you understand the glee
Of creating everything you see?
Never seeming to reach the end -
Drive to create as we pretend. 

Live once or twice, it's all the same.
It could be living or a game.
Friends and foes we find all here.
Even as we pay for tier.

I once thought myself poetical, but I'm afraid the muscles are all rusty. I hope you enjoyed my few efforts, though - and if you feel moved, I'd much enjoy seeing your efforts in the comments or on your own blogs!
