HOW TO POST AN ACROSTIC :(Just SHARING)
LOVEDLY ACROSS STITCH
L..ast night I dreamed
O..f you O what a dream
V..ery serene bottled up were we two
E..ach entwined in a bottle of red wine
D..emonstrating our love and fragrance
L..like a moon spinning around the sun
Y..ou and I both like twins enjoined
Style / type:
Free verse
Review Request (Intensity):
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Last few words:
My style of acrostic
created since birth
as my first kind of verse
Before I switched over to
FREESTYLE VERSE ..
SINCE WE HAVE NO FONTING SYSTEM HERE
THUS TWO DOTS MUST SUFFICE
AFTER each alphabet here
eg
L..ovely

Loved
Are the two dots even necessary, I feel it distracts from the piece.
Not sure but probably the title would be good enough and let the reader sort it out.
I always assume that the Acrostic talks about the main subject, such as my Aardvark acrostic,
Aardvark
Africa my birth place as man was born
Ants so busy they just keep me warm
Roaming the bush from mound to mound
Delving with tongue deep underground
Velvet termites a great soft feast for me
Aware of the others, hurry up, I must flee
Remember me, and let me plant my seed
Keep us safe from this extinctions greed..
But we will see what others say,
Yours as always Ian ..

Hi loved
I was told a good while back that neither spacing or dots should be used and it was the reader's duty to discover it's an acrostic.........stan
