Acrostic Prompt: House Work from The Typewriter Workshop
—
Have you nothing better to
Occupy your time and mind
Unfulfilled dreams-things to learn
So pack up your potential
Escape from the household chores
—
Write the great American novel
Or take a long walk
Release your pent up passions
Kindness should start with yourself
~Melanie Blackwell

Night (Acrostics)
here is a very orginal stlye of Acrostic, Melanie does a great job individualizing this poem style and making it her own but using it to tell some lovely short stories!
This set of Acrostic Poems is the second of several poetry forms that Bianca & I are collaborating on. One of us will post and then the other will respond in kind. Enjoy

I have four submissions for your reading pleasure 🙂
Nova
Ignites the sky
Gaze at constellations
How many can you identify?
Tethered, as you are, to Earth
No light shines the shroud
I walk alone into the black
Giggling anxiously, eyes darting
Hidden horrors await behind unseen bends
To ____________
Nary a sound, hush
Inside all are sleeping
Go quickly child, run
Here is your chance
To escape into the dark night
Navy sky provides backdrop to be
Illuminated, illustrated by
Gleaming, glowing, golden
Hued
Twilight

Wonderful work by Melanie on week ones acrostic lesson
