Growing up, everyone is always exposed to acrostic poems. I have used them to make cards, or even speeches. Though, I have never considered an acrostic poem, to actually be a creative poem. I decided to challenge my childhood work and put thought into writing an acrostic poem. I wrote about the sunlight, and essentially took everyones first thoughts on the sun and turned them into imagery words. I used two senses,: seeing and feeling. I did find it difficult to write this poem, because it is hard to find words that describe the subject for every letter.

  1. I liked that you gave both positive and negative traits of sunlight. However, perhaps because acrostics are difficult to arrange, there isn't an easily identifiable pattern in the descriptions.
    All the adjectives are understandable by all readers though.

  2. Nice acrostic chums! Every words speaks true to sunlight. I do not know the meaning of "lambent" but I applaud this poem nonetheless. And yes, sunlight is definitely "hot" :D.
