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!

Twinkle, twinkle, way up high,

What is that? I wonder why

Iupiter's so big and bright,

Let's enjoy the autumn night,

In town there's too much light pollution,

Going country's the solution,

Halo round the streetlamp mars

Telling stories by the stars.

T'was half past nine and not a star

Was to be seen in't nebula

It is remarkable because

Light shone upon a fallen horse –

Indeed, that's what I think it was.

Gigantic shadow on the moss.

Heavenly creature or beast from hell?

To this day no man can tell..
