HOLIDAY ENJOYMENT

Many friends
I see
Smooching and
Taking time for a
Little lip locking,
Everyone
Tries their hand in
Open holiday
Enjoyment.

     I had fun writing this acrostic for today.  Actually I started it yesterday while I was on an airplane.  I liked being able to use "lip locking" in a poem.  Can you write your own holiday acrostic?  It might be fun for you to put together a small collection of acrostics on a holiday theme.  Do you think the colors help this poem?  Would it have been as effective if I'd reversed the green and the red?  I don't think so.  The "appearance on the page" is something a poet considers when presenting a poem.  So, once you have written your poem, think about what the poem is going to look like as well as what it sounds like.  Have a great poetry day.
