The voting for this contest was determined by the contest committee. An announcement has been made on the welcome page.

Write a poem where the first letter of each line spells out a word (downwards).

An example:

    Elizabeth it is in vain you say
    "Love not" - thou sayest it in so sweet a way:
    In vain those words from thee or L.E.L.
    Zantippe's talents had enforced so well:
    Ah! if that language from thy heart arise,
    Breath it less gently forth - and veil thine eyes.
    Endymion, recollect, when Luna tried
    To cure his love - was cured of all beside -
    His follie - pride - and passion - for he died.
- "An Acrostic" by Edgar Allan Poe
