Nice first submission. The idea of a cock "keening" is slightly unsettling. I'm not very taken by the action in this poem but that's just me.
Keep writing and submitting.

not my thing, but think you may have something, so go, go, go.
you should advertise an acrostic by capitalizing--it just says "Hey, I'm clever", when it should be subtle. There are some good moments here--but what will your second poem be about?
I think you should definitely have allowed the reader to slowly discover the acrostic during the reading of the poem, rather than by your immediately shouting it out in capital letters.
'Undulating hips' seems feminine, to me, and I agree that 'keening' doesn't seem the right word, for a cock.
With all that, somehow it's still a five.

Don't take any notice of a sad old wanker sitting at home capitalizing his acrostic. He'll probably go blind.
