Friday the 1st of August,2019 started with a
Little drizzle of rain but by one o'clock pm
Of that day -huge sheet of rain was falling
On everything in my sight, this
Droplets as little as they are, began to increase
In number and in no time began to carry everything
Not tied to the ground those tied down, they destroy
And carry the pieces, I could have sworn I heard their voice
Until the lapping of water drowns the voices.
Giving orders to each other as they go on doing what they do best
Under the sky finding their way back home to the ocean,
Sea or river of their choice. This August visitors have
Taking many lives and things worth millions in less than 24 hours.
I'm impressed as to how you made each phrase and line of your poem fit effortlessly into the beginning letters of your acrostics.10+
A very well controlled and expressive tear of a poem. You deliver bad news with strength; I am sorry for your loss. Good warning though by telling how meekly it began. Alarming!

We have such visitors....! Real cloud burst! These visitors were common in the month of July earlier ! But this time, they came in August, drowning thousands in misery! A well crafted acrostic!
