Hey if you don't enter, I'm gonna have to throw ya in as a Judge with me LOL!
Marianne (Ah, I was just thinking about Acrostic's after Lewis said "Acoustic" and I had to laugh about it. I knew what he meant but, I felt like playing a guitar. LOL.
Marianne.
(P.S. Now I'm confused if this is an acrostic or an acronym) Looks the same! LOL.

Awesome idea for a contest!!!
Marianne, I added the links directly to the poems in the form of the author's home page. I also sent an IM to them informing them of the poem being posted. I did post 2 poems, if this is a problem please let me know. It will be really tough deciding which one I will have to remove, I even have other tributes that I would love to show here. I know you can't have too many but if I could add one or two more it would be great. Thank you so much for hosting this, I love acrostics so much. Love and blessings for the sunniest of days to you. Good luck when it comes time to judge, so much talent here.
