This is my experimental double acrostic poem. A double acrostic consists of clues for a sequence of words (the cross-lights) to be written in a list, plus two clues to the words spelled out by the first and last letters of the cross-lights (the uprights).

Deforestation






Desire for commercial cultivation to tap markets

Edged the greedy, to grab the virgin green lands

Fairways of development called for land to build

Opened up vast open spaces in forests by grazing

Ringing death bell to the pristine nature forever

Enticing tourism paved way for resorts within jungle

Sending the wild life in distress for shelter and food

Timber dwellers turned forests into neo barren lands

And sold timber as furniture to the world with smiles

Triggering haunting droughts, without water retention

Irresistible climate change, a gift to our descendants

On the back of their dreams of a green earth to live

New forests will come up like museums for kids to see

Stand



                          
Stand up to cheer all the fighting losers
To acknowledge their ever silly brave hearts
And then show your funny support
Nimbly to their over egoistic effort
Dust their pride by showering boos from gallery

Prayer



Platform of untiring faith

Relished through selfless devotion

Allays fear of disorientation and failure

Yearning for unbounded support

Erases clouds of ego and anger

Renews affirmation in god

Nuisance























Noisy by nature
Under bad influence
Intrudes lives deliberately
Seeking all enraged attention
Arrogantly disrupts the harmony
Notching feathers of stained pride
Collecting heaps of delirious abuses
Elates at mustering the glorious ruins
