Tis the Season
Poetry Contest
Create a poem where the first letter of each line spells out a word.
With the Christmas season upon us, write an acrostic poem about the season. It can be funny, spiritual, family or any thing else but has to be about the Christmas holiday.
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 of 36.00 member dollars. In this contest at least 2 submissions must be made for the vote to begin.
Deadline: Contest is closed. Deadline was Monday, December 22, 2008.
