Analysis of Pathos of Man (triple acrostic poetic form)
Pretty pictures tell a tale
And speak of human quirks
Thinking that a soul on sale
Has been a thing that lurks
Others just ignore this tack
Sending the amorous one to her back
Often the pretty are given this bane
For takers are dreck and truly inane
Mental images make us or not
Amorous things young one's call hot
Never will I disdain this to rot
