I tried explaining enjambment with little success,
Much to my despair. When something
Is the main point you must emphasise it, pause,
Stress the word like a thick fat underline.
Similes are like a crutch — I think
You know that — which we lean on when
Out of ideas. Blue like the sky, we get pretty
Unoriginal. Lonely as a rose, rotten and
Romantic like Romeo — here alliteration is
Demonstrated. I can teach as much but my
Eloquence every time I speak to you is
Robbed from me, stunned by the sheer
Presence that I have thought I’d be content just
Yearning for. If you had not understood me,
For you have never understood my English
Anyways, here’s a hint to learn something new:
Check the first of every line and take an
Easy guess at what an acrostic is.
