Waste (my response to ancientone’s challenge)

 multiple acrostic

 

 




Woefully wasted words
always alienate alarmingly
so speak sensitively
tendering tender thoughts
eliminating excessive ego

Thanks weirdelf!

There is no better tribute to one's own writing than the responses elicited such as yours. Thanks again. There is little waste in yours however. Mine was all waste you see. ;) Have a great day! Patrick

Yet another Acrostic

I don't like this one as well as Order. That wasn't very constructive of me, was it? It's 1:30 a.m. Be glad I'm not typing like Charlie in Flowers for Algernon. Best, Ronda

ta all

I don't like acrostics either, this and Order were both a challenge or response, can't remember, to Patrick's acrostics. Yeah, I was quite chuffed with the alliteration here, triple acrostic! Fun, and a useful exercise but still not my preferred form. I once had a girlfiend named Sam and managed to write 40 3 word lines with each word beginning with S, A, M. Alas the work now is lost, as is the girl. cheers, Jess
