So Kim did not recognize his own style. We are now all looking for acrostics Good one Spock

Some of us, including Kim, write in several styles. The square poem was unique to him as far as I know, so it seemed the logical one to use. I would not have guessed his square poems had the same number of syllables as lines if he hadn't pointed it out. I don't normally look for acrostics either unless that is stated. LLaP

I was going to comment that this wasn't really my style - - - until I read your poet's note. It's true that lately most of my poems have been square poems, and that they have been at the same time acrostics, with rhyme. So I must confess that based on those criteria, you have indeed captured my style! Well done! The only drawback I can see is, If nobody notices the acrostic (which I didn't at first) , and if they don't realize it's a square poem, needing the same number of syllables in each line (and I didn't realize that either) , if they are just reading the content of the poem, then the last two lines don't seem to make much sense: They catch some mice, So don't eat rice. Why shouldn't a person eat rice just because cats eat mice?

It's not about people, it's about cats eating rice. Of course the picture proves that wrong.
