No She's Not Ted (Double Acrostic)

by Jeff Mason — Read all 207 poems by Jeff Mason

I had a brief break, so I thought I would post this [tribute] ... as a Christmas present: Merry Christmas to one of my favorite poets. She knows who she is.

This is a double acrostic (down and diagonal), it consists of 13 characters per line, 4 syllables per line, 8 lines: so, #lines + #syllables = #characters per line AND all those combined = #words in poem (26). As well, the #characters per line = 50% of the # of words in the poem. Poem title is also 13 characters, and is 4 syllables. I love math (and poetry)!

"No She's Not Ted (Double Acrostic)" is an impressive composition.

I enjoyed the concept and the mathematical combo.

It seems that author was trying to define some esoteric points,
as arcane’s intention can be found throughout its lines.

Thank You.
