Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
An acrostic about winters past.
Winter by RodG
Name writing prompt entry


When yard's snow-filled and winter-frozen,
feel within my brittle bones
Nostalgia for forgotten days of youthful fun--
That gang of boys, their boisterous cheer,
Echoes of loud laughter while we played,
Recall of snowmen smartly dressed, and deeds we'd done.
 


Writing Prompt
Write an acrostic. Pick a word, any word, and use the letters of that word for the first letter of each line in your poem. See examples here.

This poetry form is called an ALLITERETTE. It is a poem which takes advantage of the charming tool of repetitive sound in the close neighborhood, which is used randomly, yet close enough to be noticed and enjoyed. (From POETS TREASURY by Viola Jacobsen Berg)
