The Acrostic Poetry Challenge
Created | Updated Jun 24, 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!
This issue: CHANGE
Coping with disaster, weathering the strife,
Hanging on to sanity, as if to save my life,
Accepting that ambition, however well it's meant,
Not only gets abolished, it seems it's always bent,
Greeting each new item on the international news,
Everything is now corrupt - what else can we abuse?
Can I stop the world from moving
Halt it when it's clearly grooving?
Am I an old and grumpy git
Not 'up-to-date', no longer fit?
Gizmos here and gadgets there;
Excuse me while I sit and stare.
PedanticBarSteward and B'Elana
