While trying to keep my mind fresh in between writing pages for this story, I’ve taken up doing little writing exercises.  So, with this being my blog about my journey in writing, I figure I’d share what I’ve been doing.  Hope you enjoy!!!

First, a bit of reference (straight copy and paste) thanks to good ole Wikipedia:

An acrostic is a poem or other form of writing in which the first letter, syllable or word of each line, paragraph or other recurring feature in the text spells out a word or a message.

Here goes my initial attempt at this form of writing.  At some point, I will definitely do more, this was actually kind of fun and a good diversion from my main literary focus…..

“Suddenly, one man envisioned the intricately made exercise so intently, the room uproariously lauded yet again.  My assistant zealously escaped, making yesterday’s shameful event last forever.”

And now, a bit more reference:

Acrostics can be more complex than just by making words from initials. A double acrostic, for example, may have words at the beginning and end of its lines

Here goes:

Kindled like a fire upon being started up

Everything around me takes on a hazy aura

Vicious pains through my legs, oh how these heel spurs roar

In comparison to the back pains I’d rather the former

Nevertheless I venture on, with the focus of a samurai

Determined to face this new with all of it battles

Hope that was worth your time, you should give it a try!!!
