Acrostic poems  

 

Acrostics make me wary

’Cause they set too high a goal.

Restrictive rules are scary

Once they choose to take control.

So though I can supply one,

Thanks to books that feature these,

I’m not prepared to try one

’Cause I lack the expertise.

“Snail” (Acrostic) by Pat Simmons

Silver slime creates a pathway.

Night time is when journeying begins

Across leaf litter, deep into the rainforest

In silence they explore,

Leaving little trace of their adventure. Just a sparkle.

She spins her intricate web

Perfectly positioned between bending branches.

Invisible to unsuspecting insects, she waits.

Dinner is served.

Effort rewarded, hunger satisfied, she rests.

Rain lashes branches. She begins again.

“SNAILS” (Acrostic) by Toni Newell

Snails emerging to greet the spring,

Now enjoy its offering,

And gardens bright and succulent,

Invite them all to come,

Leaving holes in many leaves,

Sun comes up and they are gone.

Wriggling your way through life

Overturning soil, helping our environment

Rarely making the news, but

Making a difference.

VALENTINE (Acrostic) by Monty Edwards

Very special person;
Always on my mind;
Listens to my worries;
Ever very kind;
Never shouts in anger;
Trusts me too, I find.
I declare
None compare.
(Every lover’s blind).
