Conjuring up ideas
Revelling in daydreams
Engaging with the unknown
Artistically drawing themes
Through the depths of the mind
Imagination unearthed
Visual representations
Inspiring stories to be birthed
Trust in this amazing process
You and me, all possess

Acrostic poetry is a form of short verse and constructed by placing a capitalised word or phrase vertically down the page to form the initial letters of each line of poetry. Each line is used to relate to the word, or praise the subject. It does not have to rhyme.
This has been written for the 2017 A to Z Challenge.

1 April 2017 at 5:06 amSimply spellbinding! I love the word you chose for the Acrostic too. Kind of keeping with the theme of the blog as well. As fellow storytellers, we need this 🙂

1 April 2017 at 6:31 amThanks Shy 🙂 The hardest bit for this was choosing a word

1 April 2017 at 1:30 pmThis is something i have never known. I often attempt simple straight forward poetry. Surely this is another creative way to pen those versus.

1 April 2017 at 1:59 pmHello Saanch , Definitely sounds like my kind of poetry . I will surely give this a shot , esp the part about the verses need not rhyme , makes the process more fun. Isnt that how creativity should be , no rules – only free flowing thoughts!
I am going to be learning so much through the month 🙂
Happy Blogging!

1 April 2017 at 4:07 pmThis is so apt for creativity! And I’m sure it wasn’t as simple as it looks – no poetry is as deceptively simple as it looks!

2 April 2017 at 12:00 amCreative indeed! I never knew about this form before (which is something I guess I will say multiple times as I come to your page during this month)
Sanch, the writer
2 April 2017 at 12:20 amHaha…acrostic was one of the easy ones this month as I’ve tried it before. Some of the other ones later on were real doozies! In fact, I still have four more poems to write.

4 April 2017 at 10:25 amOh, I know this! I didn’t know what it’s called, though, so thank you.. I don’t think I’ve ever written a poem this way, however. Not a fan of it.
Man, this is kind of a tall order, your theme. Hope you get ideas from A to Z! My theme is anything-writing related. Hope I get ideas, too, ha ha!
