ANK(H) : ACORN :: LET(T) : OAK (part three of seven)

Here is a shameful false start on the verses. The meter is fine, the rhyme is good, but each line is self-contained platitudinous nonsense that does not advance story, symbolism nor truth. I have stacks and stacks of such in my seven-year history of acrostic poetry.

It’s time for research: history of Latvia, significance of the ankh, anklet styles then and now. Stay tuned!
