Thank you very much Aditi, I found composing a double acrostic quite a challenge. Hope you're well Tom

Nicely done Tom, with a bit of your family history preserved poetically. Hope you get back there some day. I've still never been to Florida. Congrats on the win ~ John

Thank you Joseph, my first acrostic, doubles are challenging for sure. Thank you too for hosting. Tom

You brought to mind the many visits I had to Florida including Orlado. Hope you had as a good time I had my friend, Tom. Greece is waiting for you. Are you coming? Blessings!

The latest news is that Greece has opened its doors to tourism from the UK. I hope the UK will let its people come!

Thank you Demetrios, we did have a great time, would love to go to Greece but not sure if anyone from the UK will be allowed in with our high death rate and poor handling of the crisis. Tom

Panagiota Romios

Tom! Good show! I knew you could do this one. A double is a lot harder. But all poetry requires thought and planning. Even single acrostics. Haikus, Senryus are relatively easy. So are footies for heavens sake compared to the Poetry of Lindley!-)) Nonetheless, all take time, for me. Wishing you a first place. Florida is wonderful.... Panagiota xoxo

Thanks Panagiota, it was challenging doing a double, but never gave up. Tom

I'm all admiration for you and for anyone else who does these 'double bubbles.' I can't. My problem perhaps is that I can't write poetry and chew gum at the same time. ~ Typical Male

Tom Cunningham

Thanks Gershon, acrostics are not hard but doing a double is a lot trickier, my first attempt at one. We're not multi taskers like our good ladies lol. Tom

A fantastic place for parks and beaches--Florida is! Your double double words creatively tell the story, Tom. Looks so hard to execute! Well done for a win!

Thank you Vijay, have been about five times now and never get tired of it. Panagiota said to have a go as I'd never written one, yes double ones are trickier I must admit. Hope all is well with you Tom
