Thanks, Ma'am Jackie. I'm looking forward to reading your Monocrostic try. This form I introduced a few years ago is actually inspired by acrostic and acronym. The monocrostic adds the crucial acrostic constraint where the first letter of each word spells out a name or phrase. The most obvious challenge is that every single word in the sentence must begin with a specific, pre-determined letter. Not only do the words need to fit the letter constraint, but they also have to form a grammatically correct and meaningful sentence. Making it flow naturally and be pleasant to read adds another layer of difficulty. It is a true linguistic puzzle. It's a testament to creativity when someone can craft a clear, meaningful, and flowing sentence under such rigid structural demands.
