Acrostic with Hidden Message

Create an acrostic poem with a meaningful hidden message.

Hidden message: {{message}}
Surface topic: {{topic}}
Tone: {{tone}}

Acrostic principles:
- First letters of each line spell the hidden message
- The surface poem must stand independently
- The acrostic should enhance, not detract
- Line beginnings should feel natural, not forced

Construction approach:
1. Map out the letters needed
2. Find strong words that begin with each letter
3. Build lines that flow naturally from those words
4. Ensure the surface poem has its own coherence
5. Test whether the acrostic adds meaning or just cleverness

Draft the acrostic poem.

Reflect on the relationship between hidden and visible meanings.
