Poetry Acronyms

You know how my mind starts to wander when I’ve got too much spare time?
Today I’ve invented something called INITIALOETRY. It works like this - you write down a phrase, and then you have to make up a poem where each consecutive word has to start with each corresponding subsequent letter in the phrase.
That sounds like nonsense, so here’s an example:
If you want to write a poem based on the phrase OUTER SPACE, you write down each letter downwards on a piece of paper, then create a word beginning with each letter in the phrase, which then has to make sense as a poem when read in order down the piece of paper.
Oh God, that was an even worse description.
Just read this (I’ve carried on the OUTER SPACE theme…)

Onwards
Upwards
The
Exquisite
Random
Silence
Persists
And
Continues
Eternally

Clear now?
Here’s another example -

“I live on, very emotionally.
Perhaps happiness in life
is partly permanent again.”

If you take the first letter from each word in turn it spells out “I LOVE PHILIPPA” which is both the title of the poem, and the theme of my life at the moment.

And yes, technically I should have spent the day job-hunting, but there we are.
