Minimalist Diagnostic Acrostic
Poetry Contest
Write a Minimalist Acrostic poem using ANY theme word you wish but it must be at least 10 letters or more.
Minimalist style means only ONE word per line allowed and in its entirety the Acrostic must read as a legitimate sentence.
Punctuation allowed but only commas and you may use TWO only. No full stops, but exclamation marks are allowed at the end if required.
NO partly abbreviated or made up words. e.g. if using an X for instance "X-tra"/"X-tremely" etc are not acceptable
Lastly, you may NOT use the theme or title word or derivatives in any way as one of the lines in the Acrostic.
For example if title word is "IMAGINATION" you cannot use "imagine", "imagining", "imaginative" ... you get the drift.
Harsh rules I know ... and the entry fee is higher than average so not for the faint hearted.
Good luck, get your thinking caps on and use your wit and imagination.
The contest winner will win half of the prize pool of 180.00 member dollars. In this contest at least 5 submissions must be made for the vote to begin.
