This should be very simple... I want you to write an acrostic poem that captures your own personality. If you have already done this in the past, I don't want it. I want something new and fresh. I want to know who and where you are TODAY. This applies to your USER ID as it is known on Allpoetry... not your real name, unless of course you use your real name as your user ID. If your name ends in numbers, you do not have to include them.
RULES:
1. No internet chat lingo.
2. Spelling and grammar count.
3. No profanity.
4. Follow Allpoetry rules when posting your work.
5. Have fun and play nice.

I'm sorry I love doing acrostics, they are one of my favorite types of poetry. Looking at the list of pieces you have entered in here I see you really don't need one by me. But I just can't let it go without saying that an acrostic title is the same as the first letter of each line, and some of your poets don't seem to know their names, because their titles are not their names at all. Correct me if I'm wrong but if your AP name was Bob, then your piece should be titled, and go like this;
Bob
Bob does not like all sports
Only sport he likes is
Baseball
Although that is a little simplistic that is an acrostic.

You are indeed correct in your description of what an acrostic is. I usually do not view the entries until a contest closes or close to it. I take all factors into consideration when I judge them... including following rules as well as the contest criteria.
