Shadow Acrostics
Suddenly awakening to a world white with snow
Under sunny skies I decided to ski
Muffed and warm but missing one mitten
Meant to look for it after having a bite to eat
Everywhere I look all I can see
R unfinished poems all over the floor
Oh no
Run muse run faster
What will I do they are starting to hiss
Insisting I write a small short hakiu
Now I'm in trouble so I'll send an IM
To catz who'll help me out of this poetry jam
Every time I need her she's always there
Reading and correcting any poetry error

Bet you can't guess what option I am doing...
This is the very first attempt to write an acrostics poem so decided to do a shadow acrostics one...it is really hard and this is a very stupid poem but managed to get all the letters in the right place..so be kind in your critique

Sorry girlie
I forgot those three little guy's whom loved it too

Hey wonderful...I could see the shadow and that says a lot for me....that means we both are good
I loved it...it's real hard to write an acrostic I know that...but I never ever made a shadowed one and here you are....the start and the finish is perfectly acrosticly written
Good luck in the contest Darlene....

For your first acrostic i think you have done an excellent job as for it being a shadow acrostic i'm not sure what that means.
Loved that it was funny too.
Thanks for entering.

First acrostic? It's good. I tried one once, trust me, yours is better! Mine made no sense whatsoever.
I know what it is like, having no inspiration, but I make up for it by having no talent, so it doesn't matter what I write...so I write anything...see.
Good to have a sister to help out...no one in my family can even read, let alone write.

Lol... This is very good, Sis, especially for a first acrostic. Just wondering about one word, though... 'What will I do they are starting to his'
Should 'his' be 'hiss'?
Best of luck in the contest
love and
Dee
