Notes on Polyacrostic Palindrome Palimpsests.
.

.
Acrostic: Verse in which certain letters form a word or message
Polyacrostic: Several acrostics within the same composition
Internal Acrostics to be found below – in alphabetical order:
Aim to please her 8 times
Amuse in inky plan 3 times
.
Palimpsest: A manuscript on which more than one text is written
with earlier writing, or one level of meaning, partially visible.
Ask my plan, the stanzas plain appear.
Miss or discover mirror, cipher print refined.
Unmoved? Must we submit, fame undermined?
See this tale has stated stamp sheet clear
Ever on sonnet's head hope offers to cheer
Inset pipes with inner pipes wit spine.
Now swell a smile new, spell an inky line.
Know here we hearken, shared is tale sincere.
Eyes gala avoid wet blabla also. Hear,
Years pass, so play.They pass swift, seek some sign.
Plea on her heart pens once dream design
List light's shelled truth rich he hid here.
'Aim to please her' arms lines entered, see
Neat chart is furnished from all error free.
