The Vertical Monocrostic Poem by Bernard F. Asuncion

This new type of poetry
Is quite challenging to try;
One needs a cup of coffee
And a piece of pizza pie.

It's not a horizontal
Arrangement of a sentence;
This form is very special,
Endorsing poetic sense.

The single statement is penned,
Using any word's letters;
Each initial wants to send
A word that truly matters.

Authors may use any theme,
Regardless of the subject;
An example is ice cream,
The last word may be magic.

This style requires no meter,
Neither iambic nor rhyme;
Syllable is freelancer,
Writers spend a lesser time.

EVM wants to employ
A message so fantastic;
It's nice for us to E-njoy
V-ertical M-onocrostic.
