Challenge***up for it??????

Unless your name is "iiibtt usbllyiw ioi iftw", I think you missed the point...

I am unable to write my name in an acrostic form in English, as my name contains a letter that does not exist in the english alphabeth...

Ismail, you missed the point, though the poem was still good it's not an acrostic poem.

Each line starts with the next letter in your name. If your name was Tom, it could be like this:

Taking in life slowly
Observing time as it flows
Me; I'm just a soul amongst a million.

I really enjoyed your poem though. :)

Hoping things will get better,
Assuming they never will,
Yelling up into the sky,
Letting my tears freely spill,
Everything that I see and feel,
Years that I feel I’ve lost,

Just come swarming back.

here we go.. very difficult because im used to workin with using an even number of lines so this was a tad bit different. But I think it turned out ok

I didn't really like this one, hope someone else does.

Praying for redemtion,
Awakend pain within,
Torn to pieces by sin,
Relentless tears falling down,
Insanity is coming around,
Kageing myself to the ground.

My
Ever changing
Life

Silently watching the people go bye
Amazed and upset wanting to know why
My heart beat speeds up
As i try to calm down
Nothing can stop me from falling down
Tortured by lies mocked by passer-byes
Help me I'm lousing it
Anyone pleas help me fit in

my name is samantha so i used that insted of sami cuz sami seemed too short hope u like it

Racing against time,
a speeding clock that ticks my name.
Still, I go nowhere
more than ever does it feel so, and will
until I find
solitude's replacement.

Solitude has become my cloak nowadays,
telling me simple lies
Raising my hate upon the others
or....
myself?

Enraging me to say things I do not mean,
Vanity thus overthrowing me,
enticing me with its simple emptiness,
neglecting the feelings I use to feel,
still I see them cry,
encircling my feeble mind,
never to be felt again?

hehe..well..its a quite common Norwegian name...

and I suspect them for not wanting a child that badly=)

but..shit happens, you know=)

EOB,

If they had been hippies, just imagine? You might have been given a name like Moonbeam or Starshine???

Steve

Kleptomania girl,
Arrogant to the world
Gallant child
Used up before a while
Ressource of pain
Aspires even through the rain...

I tried...got half way through and I'm getting nowhere. what interesting words start with J ? I already read the dictionary...by the way... nothing sounded good.

Just, Jilted, Jail, Jailhouse, Jasmine (it's a stone, scent and flower too), Jacked, Jezebel

those all sound pretty good. I'll try mine later.

type "s" instead those obnoxious "z"'s and I think it'll work. btw, nice poem, bob. Never see anyone rhyme acrostic so well.

She stops herself from moving forward to
Hold her ambition back. Another statement
Of the obvious from Miss Information.
Just talk to her and make her feel
Okay with herself. Is she okay with
Herself? "You made me believe..." Happily
Ever Aftershocks and whistleblows.
Now listen as I turn up the sound and
Temporary wounds become her. Just
As we are. All hail the Queen of Self-
Inflicted drama! Forgive and remember.

Jade & I

Jade and I, friends
unseparable like sisters
we conquered life...
attempting the impossible
insisting on achieving
reaching for our dreams
impetuously maturing
yearning to succeed
anticipating the future
hereafter, high hopes we shared

believing in the unimaginable
inspiring each other
neither judging nor underestimating
together we strived...

memories of the past
at times holding us back
not wanting to let go
stripping us of our strength
unwilling to give up
rejecting failure, we persevered

angles spreading their wings
leading the way...

reaching the end
anxiously awaited
sisters, hand in hand
hearts united as one
ascending our final step
destination, heaven - home

*special thanks to Shojo H. for inspiring me in some way to write this.

oki dokie here i go...

Christina Gomes

Cultivating as I begin to grow
Holding onto dreams and promises I know
Rising up and down on all those hopes
In between all of life's ropes
Secrets and sorrows building my strength
The mistakes teaching me to great lengths
I always think about all these choices
Never listening to those discouraging voices
Answers that I'm looking to find
Give me something to ponder in my mind
Obvious problems striking here and there
My heart will always hold onto those who care
Everyone has a certain reason to live
So I'll tell you mine is what my future can give.

well...umm what do you think?? be honest!

Thanks Bob. Your poem was terrific

Simple me thats who i am
Amazing and unusual thats what i am
My poem isnt that good but at least it says my name... sam

Subtle analogies show my personality,
Tombstone written with a guilty plea.
Eloquence...lost and found,
Vigil conscience wallowing in sureal whereabouts,
Even the gods could not controll my mind.
No one knows me like I do.
