A Single Shot Message

L is for the simple seat
O is for the surprise I see
V is for the slingshot aimed
E is for the sound you made

Y is for my simple tree
O is for you coming after me
U is for the ground I found
! Is for the impact sound.

Author notes

Okay to get this poem you need to look at the first letter in every line, it relates to the image conveyed or a sound that is provoked by the actions the line describes. Hope that just made sense. Tell me what you think though.

    This is a cute and succint poem, and I love the message of the acrostic. However, I will say one thing about acrostics- usually they lines relate to the letter for example
    C is for your cool attitude
    A is for your adorable face
    T is for your tenderness
    etc. (I know this is a really bad example. . .) But the idea is that you use the letter somewhere in the line. However, this is still a very cute poem. I would try writing a more traditional one sometime in your future too! They can be a bit harder, but they force you to be creative. However, they need not necessarily rhyme.

    I thought this really worked well, it had beauty and the use of acrostic was great.

    haha, smart idea. That is definately creative so well done even though I didn't get it fully untill after I read the note you made.

    This poem seems simple from he first read of it but actually it is quite clever so I want to say that you did a good job. I think the last line is my favourite, it made me laugh. I am not sure what to think about the title, I have mixed feelings - on the one hand its appropriate but on the other hand its not very catchy.

    Sorry, if this isn't helpful in any way, shape or form.

    When did I miss this one? I love it! I will admit, I had to read your notes to get the full impact, but that is ok too! You did a great job on this one!

    I hope this takes something besides Honorable mention in the next contest! It is a gold to me!

    and love little brother

    This is good. I didn't completely understand all the letters in correspondance with their sentence, but I understood at least half. It sounds real nice when reading and is real sweet. Good job.
