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!

PedanticBarStewardJust as I settle to do nothing at all,Out of the blue comes a cumbersome call,'Unless you are here by tomorrow – midday,Redundancy follows and don't ask for pay.'Now that my lethargy has fully set in,'Eff-off, you bar-stewards, I just opened the gin.You find someone else who will run round the world,Slave I am not, and I hate being cold.'minorvogonpoetJennifer yearned for travel, soughtOriental wisdom from Jaipur to Japan.Under Uluru's sacred slopes, she metRichie who rode his bike from Norway toNovgorod. They loved as fellow spirits,Exchanged promises and wedding rings.Young children followed.
