for certain improprieties
loose change will make a sin a breeze
in other climes and rhymes betimes
tenacity will ring your chimes. well
travelogued, your journeys; you
instinctively appoint a view/help
nested townsfolk rarefy/from
getting down to getting hi
Afterword: This whimsical down-one-side-and-up-the-other Double Acrostic is not quite nonsense; it makes a flitting sort of sense if you consider that the poem tells you with its title that it is about impulsivity. The poem came to be after it occurred to me that though the phrase “fleeting impulse” is as old hat as the phrase “old hat,” the phrase “flitting impulse” may be more apt, implying as it does quick and jerky motion rather than sudden evaporation, and yet an Internet search yields far fewer instances (but it delights me to see that there ARE such instances!) of the latter than the former.
Constructing the poem with a consistent rhyme and meter was a fun challenge. Thank Goodness for the forward-slash line break symbol that lets me break to the next line while staying on the line! 🙂
