Acrostic Poetry Challenge: SATNAV

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!

SATNAV

Dmitri Gheorgheni
Some things are kind of scary,
All the things you have to learn.
Technology makes me wary,
Now it tells me where to turn.
All the pretty maps – I cannot focus,
Voice of friendly robot, hocus-pocus.
Give me a list, indicate the direction,
Point me to the right highway section,
Say just how far, which exit – perfection.

Note: SATNAV=GPS (Global Positioning System) in the US.

Shall I turn right, shall I turn left
And where do you lead me anyway?
Towards my goal or somewhere else?
Nobody knows but you.
Am I getting closer, do you lead me astray?
Very confusing, I'll switch you off.
