FRANKNESS An Acrostic Poem By O.b.i


For thy honor and for the love of the curves of a smile

Rekindling lost trust shattered with words like blade

Always and now, we will keep the path pristine

Never to be swept by the tide of this age

Knowing that we carry the burden carried by kings

Nice and slow, the pendulum swings and the clock ticks

Enduring, we carry the bee hive ignoring the stings

So when the time comes and the urge for a reward kicks

Self-satisfaction and the curves of a smile is what frankness brings



An acrostic poem is a type of poetry where the first, last or other letters in a line spell out a particular word or phrase. The most common and simple form of an acrostic poem is where the first letters of each line spell out the word or phrase.
