Poetry Slam Challenge #3 - Acrostic
Welcome to the 3rd Poetry Slam! Dig deep, win prizes and be part of the community!
This challenge is all about Acrostics! These are poems where the first letter in each line start a sentence. Your challenge is to use your Steemit username to create an Acrostic, and here's an example:
Work, Life?
Papers rustling on a desk,
Released into the air,
Unraveling in flight
Freeing me from secrets
And also myself.
Reaching for my former prison,
Catching hints from forms in free-fall,
Hoping for some new bit of news.
Years stretch on, uninformed.
You may make your acrostic about any theme, but it should make sense and flow.

I am so glad to see this is getting the attention it deserves! Acrostic is very difficult, good luck to all!
I am still loving watching this activity bro and seeing the creativity it is stimulating. Keep steeming on rockstar!
Thanks! I wanted to see more art and poetry from around the platform, trying to be the change I'd like to see and whatnot ;)

Excellent, Papa is looking forward to seeing the entries roll in, it's always exciting.
Always excited to have you around papa :)
Also, this is an incredibly great idea for this contest to combine an acrostic with the username, genius!
I really want to participate, but my English is bad :(
I don't think language should be a barrier to entry, ever :)
You should do an Acrostic in your native language as well as in English. If you want someone to look at the English part, I can help out in chat, if you're on chat.
Just let me know!
I'm chatting .
Well, I'll try to write in their native language - in Russian !
Woohoo! Hopefully I can remain focused enough to remember to enter this time! :D
Best of luck to all the contestants! :D
I'll stay on your case to remind you to enter :)
