The Acrostic Poetry Challenge
Created | Updated Jul 8, 2009
The Acrostic Poem has been a long-standing challenge, mainly between B'Elana and PedanticBarSteward. However, we've decided to open up the idea to anyone who would like to take part, as a regular poetry challenge.
The word chosen each time is the Telegram Game's current word, so if you join in or subscribe to the telegram game you'll know as soon as it's announced. When you've completed your poem, submit it by posting to a new thread below, and we'll put the best of them together in the next issue.
Have fun!
This issue: HEATWAVE
Hot and dry,
Earth cracking up,
Arctic melting,
The oceans rising.
When will we learn
Appreciating natural resources,
Value what is there cause it's not
Endless?
Hot as Hell and at a loss,
Ever tried living in Lagos?
All the time you're driven to mental dement,
Thirty degrees C and a hundred percent.
Wet with sweat and barking mad,
At times happy - mostly sad.
Verily you take to to a bottle of Star,
Elapse in a stupor beneath the punkah.
