Regrets

By Chris Commodore © 2024

Oh, wasted time on juice inebriating;
Draining health and vital organs smashing,
Erasing moments soon to dry the sunshine,
Thus, dashing precious hours down the line.

Vain enjoyment down life’s littered lane,

The Maid of the Week

By Chris Commodore © 2024

What will life be remembered for?
Perhaps humdrum and chit-chat,
I doubt anything more.
On Sundays I get up and go to church,

MeeK Soul

By Chris Commodore © 2024

Your observations are correct and accepted. However, the poem "What's In A Name" was supposed to be in acrostic format, but there does not seem to be accommodation for such types of poems. In some of my submitted poems, I am expecting the reader to come to certain conclusions in matters of how the poem has been presented. "America?" in the referenced poem is meant to force the reader to evaluate social naming conventions and possible repercussions relative to acceptance and upward mobility in American society.
