The Acrostic Poetry Challenge: Friends

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!

For those who have known, when things go really wrong,
Reliance on anyone will show you who is strong,
If people ignore you, when they see you approach,
Expect nothing from them, but don't give them reproach
Nobody cares about acquaintances when down,
Ditch them and go to another pub in town,
So I was surprised when one Moroccan lady said "This is just haram."

Facebook ain't where to find them.
Real buddies don't flame.
If they try to put you in a box, run.
Everybody on the list is different.
Never measure your worth by the number of tweets.
Down in the dumps? You'll find out who your friends are.
Sometimes people can surprise you.

Friendly and warm,
Rallying for you
In good times and bad.
Ever there for you.
Not judging your flaws
Doing what it needs
Simply being there for you.
