The Acrostic Poetry Challenge: Mayday

1 Conversation

The Acrostic Poem banner

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 : Mayday

Mice and men
Are without plan
Yacht is sinking
Due to them drinking
Alcohol in large measure
You should tar them, and feather.

Mayday is French, even I know that.
Alors! Houston, we have a problem,
You never know what might happen,
Don't you think we need duct tape?
All I wanted to do was circumnavigate the globe.
Yell. Yell loudly.
