LOVEDLY ACROSS STITCH

L..ast night I dreamed

O..f you O what a dream

V..ery serene bottled up were we two

E..ach entwined in a bottle of red wine

D..emonstrating our love and fragrance

L..like a moon spinning around the sun

Y..ou and I both like twins enjoined

Style / type: 
Free verse
Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Last few words: 
My style of acrostic created since birth as my first kind of verse Before I switched over to FREESTYLE VERSE .. SINCE WE HAVE NO FONTING SYSTEM HERE THUS TWO DOTS MUST SUFFICE AFTER each alphabet here eg L..ovely
Editing stage: 
Editing - rough draft

Are the two dots even necessary, I feel it distracts from the piece.
Not sure but probably the title would be good enough and let the reader sort it out.
I always assume that the Acrostic talks about the main subject, such as my Aardvark acrostic,
Aardvark
Africa my birth place as man was born
Ants so busy they just keep me warm
Roaming the bush from mound to mound
Delving with tongue deep underground
Velvet termites a great soft feast for me
Aware of the others, hurry up, I must flee
Remember me, and let me plant my seed
Keep us safe from this extinctions greed..
But we will see what others say,
Yours as always Ian ..

I was told a good while back that neither spacing or dots should be used and it was the reader's duty to discover it's an acrostic.........stan
