Medieval Times

MEDIEVAL times ABC form A beautiful castle donned exquisite flavours- Good, Hate. Inquisitive jesters kept lined maps noting property. Queens ran street trade until various wild exploits yielded zen. MEDIEVAL Times Acrostic form Moats carve around the castle wall, Ever challenging those who stop to call, Dragons hide in the shadow tall, Inside the passageways and the hall. Every peasant gathers wood, at least a cord, Valiant knights show off their shiny sword, Always prepared to fight for their Lord, Living well in the renaissance, few could afford. MEDIEVAL Times Alliteration form Smoke stops on the steep streets, Huts hide the hallows, Dark, dingy and dull, Garbage graces the gutters, Animals amber aimlessly. Peasants plead poverty, Knights know the kingdoms, Castles coat the coast, Crusaders catapult castles, Armour adds to action, Shields save souls, Renaissance is really raw. Written July 13, 2011 For the contest "Aye, aye & a Mistress" Won 10th Place

Very well done and yes they did need to be on one page, the only thing you might want to "tweak" is trying in some way to use the concept or the word [stop] example "Smoke stops up the steep streets" [that would include the concept word in the Alliterative verse] "Ever challenging those who would stop to call" would do it for the Acrostic..halt since it is the same concept as STOP would work too or do not partake ;) Light & Love & THANKS for the great entry!

Hi Debbie, I have made the changes and I think it looks okay. I removed the old version from the contest and was going to re-enter with updated version and it won't allow me... what do I do now? Sorry this is all new to me. Lee
