Acrostic Challenge Accepted
The somewhat heralded acrostic poet, Jennifer Wagner, issued a challenge to her readership to come up with an acrostic poem for the season to match the excellent piece she composed on December 12th. All right, then, here goes:
Busy rushing here and there
And for what or for to where?
Happy New Year, so they say.
Happy wait in line all day.
Ulp, I guess my Christmas joy's
Missing there among the toys,
Bought for ransom of a king,
Underneath a tree to fling.
Gosh, what else did Santa bring?

Post a CommentGood work!
Whoa, kudos to you-dos! Acrostics don't gotta rhyme, but you took the time. I'm impressed, not stressed, and I think this one's the best!
awww, Thomas!!! You did it! I never got a notification on this, and just happened to find it when I stopped by your page. I'm so glad you did this. It turned out great!!
I thought you were the type of person seen in a red suit at this time of year.
That was cute! Nancy, don't be a chicken. I publish my crappy poetry all the time.
I did one too but I'm not publishing it because, quite frankly, it stinks.
That's really cute!
I forgot about Jennifer's challenge..:) Great work, Thomas!!
bah humbug right back at ya!
You old Scrooge! True, though, and I'm beginning to get that way myself.
