There are several
variations of acrostics, the simplest is
a poem where the
first characters of each line spell out
a word, name, phrase
or sentence.
One can design an
acrostic using any existing form,
or no form at
all. That does not thereby create a new
form, but is merely
application of a device.
Note: In the following example I used a Supersonnet
form
Then selected
letters that spelled words with the number
of characters as the
stanza have line.
Black
Friday Shopping
The crowd was an avalanche coming in.
Event promotion: a
circus it seemed.
Less time was spent
preparing, staff was thin.
Leaving unspent
coupons was quite undreamed.
The parking lot was
now afloat with cars.
Hello! The drunks are
falling out of bars
Especially to see the
dancing girls
Machine precisioned
bonnets hid their curls.
The stock boys were an
army through the store.
Here stands the boss,
a monument to glitz.
Employees hide their
hair more than their tits.
You know which
stumbling drunks want to see more.
Liquor, and
candy-canes donned cloaks of foil.
Instant rebates were
blooming on each aisle.
Kiosk sales pitches
bubbled to a boil.
E-mail and flyer ads
made shoppers smile.
Inventory flew through
door through the night,.
This all because the
voting turned out right.
You are doing a wonderful job! THanks so much!
