An acrostic poem is where the first letter of each line spells out the title or some other word.
Advancing on the upward
Slope of the mountain
Cresting the summit
Exulting in
Nature's
Treats
Zenith rises to
Orion's left;
Deneb Algedi
Indicates a trine with
Aries, Taurus, and
Capricorn

This is the first time I've done acrostics. I've tried to pick as many poetry forms this month that I could that were completely new to me. Thanks for stopping by all :)
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done! Very refreshing poetry:)
ReplyDeleteCheers!

ReplyDeletenothing better than the view from a mountain top and even better when getting there by climbing it oneself..nice..
ReplyDeleteLovely acrostics and haiku!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried an acrostic. They look fun and difficult, and you do it well. I like the Haiku, brings back memories of hiking the Appalachians in Pennsylvania.
