Thanks Carrie Ann, and David. I write lots of things and other styles when the mood strikes me. I space the first letter to make it easier for the reader to notice the word going down. Don't know if it is customary or not, but it's just the way I do it.
WRITE ON!! wasn't meant as a joke, that is my trademark signoff on my replies......... And the name of the magazette that I publish monthly....... ·······  ·······Jim AKA Rapid-Fire Publisher/Editor of WRITE ON!! Poetry Magazette

Hi Jim!
 What a great acrostic! Especially since it's about MM and all our talented writers!  As for David's question: It seems to depend on where you post your acrostic - some sites like it to be not visible, in that your punctuation, caps etc would not be changed (so one would really have to look to notice). Some sites prefer a capital letter in each line (with no space following). I would agree that at MM, in Karnak Crossing, this educational forum, Caps are ok. If one seeks to enter a contest or publish acrostics, then I would swing the other way and write it as a normal poem with no emphasis on it. Thanks again Jim! I will be moving this shortly into our Acrostic tile... ~Cleo

Notorious
Some say winning isn’t everything, it’s the fame, All that really matters is how you played the game. To all the people who made me what I am today I thank you with all my heart, what more to say? risen So many have Few have fallen Artists I have come to know, do grow... Critiquing all the while, in friendly style Taking the glow, tossing the crow… If you learn as much as I do about Ourselves, perhaps you too, can be Notorious! ······· ·······"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door.

Well, that was a satisfying piece, Lori! I hadn't seen that one before! But then I do miss a lot!
Not sure I want to place my collection for the present challenge here, but here's today's acrostic huitain: Dyslexia Did any of you try to read as we you’d grasp the problem unmistakably since you’d be so confused, you’d want to scream like we do silently… though none may see — especially because you can’t be me; x-rays inside our heads are but a dream — if only you could sense how dumb we feel… and though we know we're not… the feeling’s real.. © Daniel J Ricketts 11 April 2005 ······· ·······Slow down; things will go faster!

Laughing Out Loud
Leisurely time August summers end uniformed trees begin to change gaudily dressed in their fall colors. Hopelessly lost in the rythme of time I suspend my awe of nature no where else except the Forth of July are colors glady shone forth. Of spring or fall it's hard to be unaware of the majesty in both though I think I prefer the fall. Laughing while out tromping though leaves underlines the loss of summer dreams of next year still wait. |
