Hi Dave
I am so naive that I had seen poetry like this before but had no idea it was called an acrostic.
It has inspired me to have a go at something like this in the future. Thank you.
I think your poem captures the full imagination of the slideshow.. as if I received it myself.
Elvis is alive and well and shops in the USA at Walmart;)

Thanks for your comments Daniel :)
I grew to like the Acrostic form some while ago - sometimes it can help structure a poem from a short phrase, almost like having a template to start each line with.
I hope you will enjoy experimenting with the acrostic form. :)
Sad about Elvis, often remembered for his less positive traits rather than the vocal skills he undoubtedly had. I think the line "There's a man works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis" from the Kirsty MacColl did a lot to focus on his ballooning weight issues in later years, not exactly the image his fans would want to retain!
ATB Dave
