Booze Clues

a few sips
and I cruise
on an infinite fuse
toward my
sweet muse
to clarify
not confuse
accept
not accuse
this is what
I choose
this is
my news
cheers
I effuse
these drinks
amuse
why would I
refuse
knowing to
snooze
is to
lose
?

Conundrum

Carefully, I
Observe
Neverending syllables
Unfinished verses
No, I want to shriek, I will not
Do this literary labor
Right now, I want to
Unwind, ignore these wicked words and
Maybe have a drink

This is an example of an acrostic. An acrostic is a poem or series of lines in which certain letters, usually the first in each line, form a name, motto, or message when read in sequence. For instance, the first letter of each line of this poem is highlighted. It reads 'conundrum.'
