Today’s Read Write Poem prompt is to write an acrostic using a word in some way connected with ourselves (Name, Birth Month, Favorite Color, etc…)
And here’s the link for yesterday’s post, which just got published in the New Verse News.
Times Square
an acrostic
Jagged bits of breath rise,
Assemble into a glittering
Nimbus which billows
Up over the roaring crowd
And disappears into night.
Raw winds swirl a babble of New
Year’s greetings among neon lights.
This is solid!
…or any sqaure in the Northern Hemisphere.
Great Acrostic!
great atmosphere =)
You have conjured up the cold weather in this poem
If the real thing were half as attractive as you paint it. I’d be there. Nice work.
This is truly good.
I was attracted by the calendar too. This certainly has a frosty sparkle.
The cumulus effects build over time.
Bravo! You make acrostics look cool!
Love it! You’ve made it look easy!!!
Your acrostic is quite graceful.
I enjoyed this one. Nice work!
The language here is really fluid, which makes me forget you’re using the acrostic form (and, isn’t that one of the sneaky tricks of an acrostic?)– which surprises me even more. Nice work!
I don’t usually like acrostics ;-).. but this one breaks my barriers.
I echo the last few comments…I totally forgot I was reading an acrostic while reading yours. Very, very nice.
Nice one, Poemblaze. And congratulations on the publication – that was quick work!
Well done Matt.
