My Emerson Acrostic

Every time I read his work it's hard to understand,

Many of the intricacies that keep it from being bland.

Eventually I get it, the meaning as a whole.

Repeatedly, resoundingly, it touches my very soul.

So even though my first few swings-swish!-miss understanding

Obtained enlightenment is my baseball bat, and destined is its landing.

Never will I be as great but forever will I try.
