"We The Poets" started as a weekly poetry workshop for readers of our local internet exchanges, and due to wider ranging interest, I am now widening the catchment area and making it into a blog. Each post has writing exercises and examples of poetry on different topics and themes. You can enter your responses in the "comments" area or personally to me in my contact form and I will do my best to respond. This is not a class ! A circle implies equals participating in a shared activity, and that is the intention. Any comments from me should be taken with the appropriate amount of salt. I look forward to hearing your responses.
Acrostics can be just exercises in fun, or the device can be used to focus powerfully on a word, phrase or concept. Here's one I wrote about the constellation Andromeda: Antagonist Neverending Disclosure Reflecting Our dual Multiplexes' Eventual Destinies: Andromeda. I invite our citizen poets to write an acrostic, either choosing their own initial letters or using: the words "Romance" or "Catastrophe"
