This piece is the result of an interesting puzzle set by Chèvrefeuille at Mindlovesmisery’s Menagerie … write an acrostic in haiku form which he calls an Acrostichon … or a Acrostichon which uses a Liaison in the middle of two ku like a bridge to create two different words .. here are some examples:
Sweet memories
Under the old appletree

Only eyes for you
Naked she lays on the beach
Everlasting love

The Acrostichon and a Liaison. In this one the Acrostichon is AUTUMN and the liaison is TUTU.

Thanks … I’m not sure if Chèvrefeuille wanted two letters for the joining letters though …

These are quite tricky, exceptionally crafted. I’ve got a simple one I shall post shortly I don’t believe I’ll attempt a liaison–other than with my ghost-love, later…

The haiku and spring rain acrostic poems were so clever. Worked really well
