Contest on Acrostics

I would like to see how other people write acrostics. I am taking a class on it here in AP and I would like to see how everyone does it.

So please just give me your best acrostics. Subject matter doesn't really matter to me. I just want to read acrostics.

Thanks

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on June 18
  • Rewards: Gold: 200, Silver: 150, Bronze: 50, Honorable mention: 5 people
  • Final notes:
    All I can say is WOW you folks are really awesome writers. I was definitely in heaven having to read all of 160+ acrostics. I have learned a whole lot about the many kinds of acrostics they are. I wish I could have given each and every one of you trophies.

    Thanks everyone for the writes and I hope to see you again in another of my contests.
