The Acrostic Poetry Challenge
Created | Updated Apr 29, 2009
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!

May we never forget
Our friends and family passed
Unto you I raise my glass
Rest in peace wherever you are
Night skies show you as stars
In my heart and my thoughts
Never will you be
Gone and forgotten.
Missed you this morning, when I rose from my bed,
Outside the birds were singing. Sorry if I
Upset you last night. There were harsh words said;
Raking up old arguments of when I caught your lie.
Nothing could stop me... I was in full flow.
I wanted to hurt you... To twist the knife.
Now you are gone. It's my fault, I know.
Gone from our home, our bed and my life.
