Ilene Bauer Poet Acrostic

Acrostic Poems

Acrostic poems, when writ in verse,
Cause some who dabble thus to curse.
Relentless rules that cramp one’s style,
Over time, may prove a trial.
Surrendering to failure might
Tempt those where patience’s taken flight.
Ironically, such poems inspire
Challenge-freaks to climb much higher.

Robert Johnson August 26, 2014 at 8:00 PM Acrostics have both pro's and con's. First letter dictate can spurn or spawn. I find them fun if I'm not busy. Anyway, they're not worth getting in a tizzy. :)

Andrea Dietrich August 26, 2014 at 6:29 PM Oh, Ilene, I love what you said here at the end. I guess I am a challenge freak because the more limits placed on me "sometimes" the better I often do!! Thanks for your wonderful comment to me last time. I really appreciated those words.
