*This is the first acrostic that I have ever written* < !signature-->~CANADA ACROSTIC~ Come take my hand, fly with me And we'll soar to a far off land Near heaven's gate of fantasy As angels sing heaven's harmonies Daring to dream upon the winds of such beauty And bask in the glory of Canada *By Melissa Honeybee* The beauty of poetry gives me wings to fly [This message has been edited by Melissa Honeybee (edited 07-02-2000).] |

Melissa, a wonderful poem about Canada. really enjoyed it. A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry |

Melissa~ this is really great! I read JulieAnn's and asked if there are any rules to this kind of poetry as in a Haiku......do you know if there are? (thanks) -SEA Live,Love,Laugh :) ~SueB |

Thank you everyone! Sea: Acrostics don't follow a syllable form like haikus. The only rule for an acrostic is to create a well expressed poem from a word vertically (I used Canada), each sentence can join into the next as mine has or each line can just state something important that relates to the vertical word. I hope that's not too confusing. Julieann's is a different style than mine, just look at both to give you an idea Take care, Melissa Honeybee< !signature--> The beauty of poetry gives me wings to fly [This message has been edited by Melissa Honeybee (edited 07-03-2000).] |

Melissa~ thank you for always answering my questions. You are always so nice. I wrote an Acrostic once a long time ago and I think I'll post it. It's the only one I've ever done. Thank you again for taking the time to answer my questions. -SEA Live,Love,Laugh :) ~SueB |
