Today's poetic form is the Acrostic. An acrostic poem is created by choosing a word and writing it vertically down the page. Each line begins with one of those letters, and together they spell the chosen word. For example, using the word HOPE: Holding on through the darkest night, Opening my heart to tomorrow, Pressing forward one step at a time, Every sunrise brings another chance. Today's Challenge: Choose any word your name, a season, an emotion, an animal, or anything that inspires you and write an acrostic poem using those letters. There are no rules for rhyme or line length. Just let the word guide your creativity. Form #2 of 150 Share your poem in the comments and encourage at least one other poet by leaving thoughtful feedback. Happy writing!
