rbruce --- Acrostic



R is for Robert but I answer to Bob
Been trying for ages to do a brilliant job
Ready and willing to try anything once
Understand I'm a silly fool, not a ruddy dunce
Come visit my page when on an evening hike
Everything is varied, you may find something you like.

      Thank you. I feel much better just being silly. Second childhood is acceptable.

    Good you could
    Really get good
    Extremely good in fact
    At the form of tact
    Typing all of these acrostic works

    Particularly for young Turks
    Or any aspiring artistic types
    Endeavouring to make a success
    Mainly with prowess.

    You may find something you like.....That is a fact for sure. I loved this acrostic. It spoke of you alright. Extremely well put and i like the rhyming that went along with it as rhyme is my kind. Sometimes i find acrostic confusing but yours was so open, i found it easy to follow, and it had purpose. I give you full marks on this one for sure.

      I find the same as you with many acrostics, they do not have a flow at all. The rhyming ones are a bit of a bugger to get right but well worth the time and effort. I give you full marks for your very complimentary comment, many thank for your continuing support.

      There are times when each of us could justifyably be called 'silly fools'. Love your comments my friend.
