NaPoWriMo #27: Acrostic Poem: “My Inner Child Writes Poetry”

April 26, 2010

Thought I’d try the left side down and then the right side down.

Many layers beloW
Yearning each houR
I have an alibI
New kid insighT
Naggin to writE
Eclipsing adult powerS
Ready to raP
Childlike solO
He will writE
In the momenT
Listen foR

  5. Stan Ski Said,

    If you read it backwards, from bottom to top, it makes almost perfect sense… in Welsh…

  6. admin Said,

    Maybe I’ll put it in the Welsher and Drier with a wee bit of drammie. ;-)

    Thanks, Stan!

  11. Robin Said,

    If I told you my name was ZQXY, could you thank me with an acrostic? Anyhow, amazing! Seems like you have a little computer chip in your brain! : ))

  12. Joanne Johns Said,

    Goodness that’s a bit fancy!

  13. Derrick Said,

    No Robin, he just has a little computer programme doing all the hard work! Only joking Mark, honest!! {:0]

  14. Evelyn N. Alfred Said,

    Who said it was “little” ;-) . As Woody Allen once said, “My brain is my second favorite organ.”

  19. admin Said,

    Thanks, Joanne. Every night I have to wash the plate in my forehead. ;-)

  20. admin Said,

    My favorite is rhyme and meter, but acrostics are fun. Thanks, Evelyn.

  21. Julie Jordan Scott Said,

    The fact that you wove both the front end and the back end into an acrostic astounds me. BRAVO!

  22. admin Said,

    Thank you Julie. glad you enjoyed it.

    Have a wonderful Tuesday and I’ll check out yours, your poem that is.

    Best,

    ~Mark

    Thanks, Pamela. This was a fun exercise in acrostics.

    Sorry the month of April is coming to an end.

    Best,

    Mark

  26. Mark Lysgaard Said,
