Put three words
On a line
Easy if you
Make it rhyme

But "line" and "rhyme" is NOT a rhyme! smiley - wah

Where are you now, William S.?

Terribly sorry to have offended. The request was:

"Rich wants an archive especially for the Acrostic Poems (which I am about to create), with a banner he wants to create.
For this, he needs an acrostic for the word 'POEM', with no more than three words per letter/line."

Being totally indolent I only managed to come up with:

Do you mean something like this (for the acrostics)?

POEM

Put three words,
On each line,
Easy if you,
Make it rhyme.

But by ' letter/line' do you mean that each word must be three letters?

Such as:

Put thy mot,
One for one,
Ere the ode,
May bid fun.

Put some words
Off each letter
Easy! Isn't this
More better? smiley - tongueincheek

Can you write a 'POEMS' acrostic, like 'Ideas'?

POEMS
OEMSP
EMSPO
MSPOE
SPOEM

In Dreamy Encephalitic Aspiring Sensation,
Demanding Experience As Supreme Inspiration,
Every Addled Selfish Interactive Delusion,
Acquiring Somehow Its Definitive Evolution.
So I Dream Eternity's Absolution.

It may not be grammatically correct but it (sort of) rhymes, makes (poetic sense) and is about 'Ideas'.

The complicated bit was that it was originally 'IDEA'. Tired, one over the eight - something got the better of me. Putting the 'S' in afterwards nearly made me give up altogether.
