Was trying to make every other line rhyme also, which I don't usually do. I admire those who do this with such ease. First Try at Acrostics First try is always the most difficult In any new and serious endeavor Regardless the end that you exult Sometimes it's a little hard to weather Those who tell you to just dive in Are those who never tried themselves That longing which you have within This is the force that makes you delve Even God took time to think Making man was complicated Putting woman next to him This has been quite under-rated Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 12-19-1999).] |

Elizabeth, my friend - Very nicely done. By golly, I think you've got it ! Said with grace. Done with ease. An acrostic from you, does surely please. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Good work, Elizabeth. You only faltered on the rhyme once and the acrostic was excellent. Let's see some more! |

And a very good attempt it was, my friend! Nail to the mast her holy flag, Set every threadbare sail- And give her to the god of storms, The lightning and the gale! -Oliver Wendell Holmes |
