This is a first attempt at this type of poetry I need guidance please?

M ichelangelo


I nside vast and holy


C atherdral domes , The Sistine Chapel


H e tackled The Hand of God


E tched virgin angels , saints


Layed out inked in templates


A nalysed positions, countenances, theory's of colour


N ever doubted, never discouraged, always sure


G uided by talent, arrogance, determination


E verafter his work revered. Sculptures


L ined up in Rome examined, by the curious, the enraptured


O n temple walls lovers and students, study his graffiti art.

This is a first attempt at this type of poetry I need guidance please?
If I was your teacher I'd give you an A. If this is an assignment you're home free. If you're looking for publication and remuneration... it's not gonna happen nobody has done this kind of thing since the late 19th century - using the initial letter of a word to commence each line. Still it's a darned great endeavor for it's genre. You must have really racked your brain. It's also a darn good tribute to Michelangelo!
Reply:Well, that looks pretty good, excpet I would avoid making the "M" stand for Michelangelo, because that's what the poem is about. It says his name down the side, so people know who the poem is about, they don't need it stated again.
Reply:you're doing just fine without our two cents
Reply:ok now do one for L-A-M-E
Reply:I don't think you need guidance,


This was well put together, and very clever.


I typically hate this type of poetry, but the way this was done is so much different than when other people try it.
