Easter Theme Acrostic
Poetry Contest
Create a poem where the first letter of each line spells out a word.
Here is an example of an Edgar Allan Poe poem titled simply "An Acrostic":
Elizabeth it is in vain you say
"Love not" - thou sayest it in so sweet a way:
In vain those words from thee or L.E.L.
Zantippe's talents had enforced so well:
Ah! if that language from thy heart arise,
Breath it less gently forth - and veil thine eyes.
Endymion, recollect, when Luna tried
To cure his love - was cured of all beside -
His follie - pride - and passion - for he died.
So create a poem in this format to enter the contest.
The contest winner will win half of the prize pool which is based on the number of entries. The second and third place winners will each share the remaining prize pool.
