Cantalope (Acrostic)

by Italian Stallion   Apr 16, 2008


Can you smell it?
A soft sweet aroma
Nature has brought;
The best I must admit.
A real delicious treat,
Like everything ought.
Oh what a wonderful smell,
Up in the warm sunny air.
People are missing out on,
Every cantaloupe which I have sought.

Acrostic Poetry is where the first letter of each line spells a word, usually using the same words as in the title. Pretty straight forward, no rhyme scheme or syllable count.

    "Can you smell it?
    A soft sweet aroma"

    I liked how you started this with a question, though the second line was a bit cliche. "soft sweet aroma" was just not the most creative line.

    "Nature has brought;
    The best I must admit.
    A real delicious treat,
    Like everything ought."

    This is such a interesting poem, great job so far, this really made me smile!

    "Oh what a wonderful smell,
    Up in the warm sunny air.
    People are missing out on,
    Every cantaloupe which I have sought."

    You repeated "sought" and that kind of ruined it for me. Otherwise, a cute topic, which showed of just how unique you are, in writing.

    4/5 from me, take care
