 Posted: Mon Jun 18, 2007 7:33 pm Post subject: Acrostic Poetry |
 |
|
The challenge is to write an acrostic poem which is a poem where the first letter of each line spell the theme of the poem when put together. Here is an example -
Red ropes rising,
A light in the sky.
Indigo river cruising,
No one knows why.
Blue river flowing,
Orange fire glowing,
Which way is it going?
Only the RAINBOW knows.
The rhyming is optional but bonus points to any who can manage it sucessfully. As for prizes...
First - 4 critiques
Second - 3 critiques
Third - 2 critiques
And a critique for all who enter. Happy writing,
Heather xx |

This was quick, but fun!
Livre*
Letters on a page,
In between two thick covers of
Various colors glare at me,
Reminding me that I must read;
Eventually…
*Livre is the French word for book |

TIME
Throughout the Universe
It stretches, confusing and
Mysterious, on a par with the
Enigma of life. |

Joyfully reaching high in the air
Understanding how the bird's must fair
Myself, I long to be there
Powerfully leaping into the air |

Murdering with an act of creation,
Overflowing grief
Tempts the weary with beguiling
Hints of tender oblivion.
Extraverted facades of
Responsibility and care fool none. |
