ACROSTIC

Writing poetry is something I have come back to recently, and I am learning styles and formats I have never heard of before (see Villanelle, for example). Acrostic was one such term that was last month’s challenge on www.deadlinesforwriters.com – it is self explanatory, I think from the below effort.

Anyone who thinks writing to order is a

Cinch, has never tried to create according to the

Rules

Of the game.

Should you wish to give it a

Born and bred in Manchester UK with a degree in French from the University of Exeter, I found myself in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1995 via Spain, France and Greece. And London. I have worked in the hospitality industry in marketing, as a radio and tv producer, in PR and communications for South Africa's buy local advocacy campaign and since June 2022 have been running my own content creation and PR company, Use Lorem Ipsum. I have always been a reader and writer of stories and am relieved finally to have achieved the publication of this blog. Now for that novel. I am the mother of 2 sons, middle of 3 sisters, owner of a dog and the ex wife and ex girlfriend of a number of men who clearly didn't deserve me. I am an eternal optimist for myself, my country and the planet, so don't let me down, world.
