whilst in a similarly dull period!

Not sure Mike. It would be nice to think so.
The reason is that just now not much moves me to write but I like the act
itself so I set myself tasks.  Much like Wordsworth did his sonnet press-ups
on a daily basis and plundered Dorothy's journal for material, that's where
'Daffodils' came from by the way.
Exercise is good for the craft side of our chosen means of expression.
The proper name for this particular form would be an acrostic but I pulled
it horizontally as well, for fun, so renamed it acriscrostic. Regards
Arthur.

Arthur, you just get inventiver and inventiver. Does this happen to everyone
when they reach their 70th birthday?

Best wishes,  Mike

Castle: an aciscrostic or an acrostictactoe

(Check the initials of each of the six words in each of the six lines across
and down )

Can anything stand? Time levels everything.
Although  strongest towers last eleven centuries
Stilll he last elements crumble away.
The loftiest edifice collapses and subsides.
Love eases, care ameliorates, still time
Eviscerates conceit, annihilates such tawdry lots.
