SHORT (Rhyming Acrostic)

SHORT



Simply a few words to say


Hoping fully to display


Only have five lines to use


Reward you all with a little muse


Time it is, to get your views

Author notes

Short it is, hope it's sweet as well. I ran "short" of time while writing this. Ooooh, bad pun I know. I just had to throw it in there.

    magicaltales, Thank you very much for the applause and your kind words. It had to be short for the contest it was entered into. They wanted 5 lines or less, so I chose an acrostic on the word itself. I'm very happy you enjoyed this piece. Love and blessings for you, today and always. Joyce

    Turtle, Thank you for the applause and the colorful comment.
    Acrostics are so cooooooool to do. I fell in love with them immediately. I am also trying different ways of writing them now too. My AP bro Starhiker and I tend to have this little sibling rivalry thing going on and it has kept me on my toes.
    When I saw this contest I laughed and then thought of the acrostic because short has 5 letters and the poem had to be 5 lines or less. They really aren't as hard as everyone seems to think they are. Lots of love, Joyce

    Pam, Thank you so much for the applause and all the praise.
    I learned from the maestro. You are an excellent teacher.
    Your kindness is as wonderful as your poetry. I wouldn't have found all these great forms if I hadn't seen your work. You were right there to help when I needed it, thank you again so much. Joyce
