Acrostic Only (TW) – No Dice
Being Poetry – Dreams
No dreams
Ordinary spells
Dreaming underwater
Isolated perfectly
Casket around
Equally forgotten

Acrostic Only, March prompts:
#TW No Reason
N either here nor there
O r, in fact, anywhere
R everies invite us off
E scaping any real cause
A nd just skating through
S lopes and crossing planes
O nly listening to sounds
N ot looking for results

The Acrostic Only prompt for Food and Drink in March is CUPCAKE. I tried my hand at a Septilla. Just for the record, there are many nice septet forms. I found it hard to pick one. I am not a great lover of cupcakes, but can’t deny they have appealing looks 🙂
#F&D Cupcake
C upping my hands
U nder false pretence
P utting chill away
C uddling the reserve
A waiting the rebirth
K eeping warmer ways
E njoying sweet stands

I finally got the rules – for the regular prompts I need to keep a word count on all lines, but who’s to stop me from breaking the rules? 😉 The truth is, I wrote these several acrostics before I realised there were rules and the other thing is I find it hard to alter these poems as yet. Maybe later, aligator 😉
So, here is my offering on the September prompt of Emotions: (strange, this one is almost within the rule, but not quite)
***
Mild waves
Enjoying the
Limitless endevour of
Angry passions
Never truly
Crossing my
Head, but
Only
Lying in wait
Yet to come out and play.

This is a short Acrostic to honor the Acrostic Only two-words prompt for September:
HAS BEEN
Habitual
Affections
Soaring high
Believe,
Eccentrically, that they are actual
Escapes.
Not likely!

Recently, I found this amazing poetic prompts site – Acrostic Only. They give monthly prompts consisting of Regular (1, 2 words, phrase, children’s corner, emotion and music & dance) and Innovative prompts which are different each time. Prompts for September can be found on their web site: here.
HASTE
Hurry up
And
Save yourself
The
Effort to be slow.

Acrostic Only – August 2011 – Acrostic Haiku – SEA
***
Southern seas await
Ecstatic waves to surge up
At ease with dolphins.
