Well, I got it from this site below, but it only referred to acrostics and another difficult word. Got you all worked up now don't I  http://myweb.wwa.com/~rgs/gl-a.html If nobody knows I'll have to make my own then  And as you were all late in class, I ate all the apples by myself  Titia A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |

Here it is according to Bob's Byway, which I have found to be a pretty good glossary. Check it out at: http://web.wwa.com/~rgs/glossary.html quote: So it would seem that the answer to your question is, each line should end with the same word it begins with. Hope this helps.

Hi Pete, yes I thought so, looking at the same site you're referring to, but didn't see the rest. So this will be my asignment: Serpentine Verse (logic: serpentine = snake and biting his own tail it ends where it begins) Oh WOW clever Dutchie me Wanna have these apples Pete, thanks  Titia A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess...
