Are you familiar with acrostic poetry? It's a fun poetic form! The title creates the poem, giving the first letter of each line. No need for rhyme, here, just a fun theme, a little thought, and, of course, a smile.
Here's one for you that talks about something all writers have experienced. Okay, okay... I cannot speak for every writer. But I've certainly had my fair share.
Writer's Block
Where did that idea go?
Right now, I need it!
I just had it, right there -- on the tip of my brain!
Thoughts jumble like a ball of yarn destroyed by a kitten...
Every thought except that one... That one I need!
Righteous indignation... Unrighteous response...
' &#@*&!
(So sorry... The moment got the better of me...)
But wait! What is that?
Like a superhero on the screen, another idea flies into my fragmented mind.
Oh, wow... This one is so much better!
Can I carry the plot if I move in this direction? Yup, I think so!
Kick that old idea out! (Thank you, Writer's Block!)
Okay, that's mine. Now it's your turn. Pick something that delights you, surprises you, annoys you, or amazes you. Narrow it down to two or three words. This acts as your title. Now comes the fun part -- WRITE!
I always used to tell my kids, both at home and at school, that there are no mistakes in art, just interesting lane changes. Since poetry is an art form, don't stress. Just enjoy a few creative moments. I'd love to see your acrostic poems in the comments section if you'd like to share.
