This work has reached the exceptional level

This acrostic poem, Thundersnow, presented with the vertical theme word WEATHER, is fun enough, then the idea that the word weather has been zigged and zagged to form all the words in all the lines is amazing.

    Bill, thank you very much. This one was by far the most challenging of the three longer words I have done so far in this format (the other two onCENSOR and ACROSTIC. Hopefully I will be doing a lot more of them in the future!

Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted

Hi there,

I'm not sure I've come across one of these types of acrostic before. I think it may lost on a lot of folk. It's certainly clever, if not absolutely necessary! lol

It also has the air of a FanStory created thing, this 2D acrostic.

I would have thought the twilight hues would rescind toward the west, given that's where the sun 'sets' and holds the last vestiges of light...

All the best
GMG

    Yeah I was thinking the same thing on the direction of the sunlight and was curious how others might read it. Obviously couldn't say "westward" in that spot due to the letter restrictions. I invented the 2D acrostic format and I would show you examples but this is a blind review, so I will have to wait until after the contest. They are fairly challenging to construct; this one took me a few hours. Yeah not everyone understands them, but I am cool with that, as the readers I care about (including yourself) understand what is going on. I'll just have to spit out some 5-7-5 propaganda for the masses to make up for this one ; )

    lol Just bang out 2-sentence 9-word non-fiction spiritual piece avoiding 22 letters of the english alphabet and pay $1:50 and you'll be golden....

    Yeah I won one or two of those funny contests and got bored : ) they are more fun when he allows more words, which lets us be a lot more subversive. Dragonskulls has a pretty fun entry in the no-S contest.

    I edited "easterly" to "ephemerally", by the way. One more word I have to list in definitions at the bottom. The contest winner will probably have something about God or cats.

    Or hopefully a malicious cat-god which uses other entries in its litter tray.

    I like your thinking. Yeah I have been thinking of creating a cat contest for a couple people here who are obsessed with them and hate me so much that they have publicly complained on top of blocking me. They want Harambe to die a second death, apparently.
