Acrostic - A Cross Stick?
A poem where the first letter of every line
Creates a word reading down
Rather a clever way of doing it and
Often not immediately obvious but
Since a lot of people don't notice
This clever bit of brainery
It's still clever just the same now
Come and join me with this game
Acrostic!

I wrote this so that I'd remember what this type of poetry is called and to have a bit of fun with it.

| Love Little by little you break my heart in two Only you hold the key Viewing the depths of my inner soul Eternally I live in misery by the word called "love" That was not EASY! I thought I would give it a try! Great little excersice here Janine! | |||

| CLAIRE LOUISE Charging forth ideas in mind Like wise people here to find All around In their own way Rhyming words Each passing day Lots of stories to be told Of youth, the now & getting old Understanding Is the key Saves our souls Each of us free | |||

| What A Day I Have Had. Who would have thought that I could be, Here right now, writing these words. A day like no other has befallen me. Time had no meaning, it is quite absurd. Any other day pale’s in comparison. Don’t try this day at home, A busy day as could be. You’d be better off on the road to roam. In no time at all I had no time. How I managed, I shall never know. Attitudes strained, personalities clashed. Very little money, for the time do I show. Even the chefs tempers seemed to crash. Here I am though, as faithful as ever. A little time that I use to write. Doesn’t this seem a little too clever. Jared Frazier | |||

| TIME TO SAY GOODBYE True to others yet not ourselves In a state of fear, confusion, Much the same as when I were a child Each day providing more insanity Too much for one so young Only too little for one needing saving Summertime used to dance A bright circle of light surrounding every dawn Youth capturing its wonder Guarding us from ourselves Our souls slipping away Our hopes dripping through our fingers Draining like grains of sand Breathe and the dust fills our lungs Yet we continue to try Even though we know its too late! | |||

| How do you make acrostics? I will try, Janine, for you. Just wait, and you will see As I now mimic what you do. No one teaches how a poet, In a few lines, choice and terse, (Not mentioning, the rhymes, of course,) Ends up with such a verse. :) Rich | |||

| Janine, don't laugh now at this try... rofl! Wanda With a smooth stroke of my pen Acrostic fun doeth begin Not enoungh time I now see Drawing Mr. Tweedle Dee And his treasured puss, Soo Lee WHO'S NEXT TO GIVE THIS A TRY??? | |||

| Guess I'm next. Perhaps you'll find acrostics may On some occasion make your day. Each time you try you'll find it hard To quit, for every noted bard Resolves to demonstrate his skill. You know you'll always get a thrill. ----------------------------------------- Did you know that George Washington, better known as the Father Of Our Country, wrote acrostics? The following is attributed to him: From your bright sparkling Eyes I was undone; Rays, you have; more transparent than the Sun, Amidst its glory in the rising Day None can you equal in your bright array; Constant in your calm and unspotted Mind; Equal to all, but will to none prove kind, So knowing, seldome one so young you'll find. Ah! woe's me, that I should love and conceal, Long have I wished but never dared reveal, Even though severely Love's Pains I feel. Xerxes that great wasn't free from Cupid's dart, And all the great Heroes felt the smart. jtb | |||
