Acrostic Poem

An acrostic poem uses the letters in a topic, to begin each line. All lines of the poem should relate to or describe the poem :)-this is a smiley btw (i think this site should invest more on better looking emoticons.) 

that's better, now back to main topic, an acrostic poem is actually interesting. An example:

      The Colour Of Peace
      By Paul McCann
      Pray for understanding to come
      Each time and for everyone
      An end to the hostility
      Coloured as one in fragility
      Enter compatibility
      ----I tried one out myself----
      Lily
      by Lilian
      Lovely and adorable is the flower
      I marvel at its beauty day long
      Looks delicate and feeble
      Yet its brightening bliss is perishable

    Not as good as Paul's but i gave it a shot. You can check out this link in case you want to make one too for fun:   www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/interactives/acrostic/
