I knew of Adelaide, but these are works that I didn't know and they turn the pieces that Mary Lee calls "formulaic drivel" on their unsophisticated heads.

Same problem with acrostics that don't say anything. I need to write a few examples so that I've got the form fully under my belt and can advocate for MEANING within the form!
