I have returned to a recent topic inspired by the Acrostic suggestion from
ACROSTIC ONLY
ACROSTIC ELEGY
Musical to the very enth degree!
Idolised by the people of his age.
Charismatic? Very certainly!
His albums were, undoubtedly, the rage!
As a child he suffered and it left him scarred.
Each beating somehow seared upon his brain.
Love came, but much of it was marred
*
Joy never lingered quite as long as pain.
Although we saw him moon-walk in our dreams
Cold morning showed a strangely mask-like face.
Kindness and sweetness, nothing more, it seems,
Soon ended in the dock and deep disgrace.
Only his picture for us to recall
Now that the music's ended for us all.

The rule was to be creative, and you mastered that well. This touched my heart because it's so very true. Thank you so very much for this one. Thank you.
But his music lives on! As will, 'We are the World'.
That was very clever and poignant too.
Michael had a talent which has never been matched...
I enjoyed reading this piece of work.
Lovely Acrostic Rinkly Rhimes. You really chronicled Michael's life. I always enjoy reading your acrostic.
MJ has cut across the globe and touched everyone. A nice poem in remembrance.
