I have a weird feeling I may have posted this in the past, but maybe not....

Have you ever written an acrostic? An acrostic is a poem written about a single word/subject, which is written going downwards. That probably didn't make any sense, so here's an example:

LOTR Acrostic#1
Steadfast little Hobbit
Always by Frodo's side
"Mr. Frodo, I'm coming! "

The LOTR word is SAM, and the sentences in the poem have to do with him (Duh, like you didn't know I'd write about my fave li'l hobbit.... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ) I wrote that one last year, but it's an example. Who else would like to take a stab at it??
