I was asked to write an acrostic about something Australian. This is my first acrostic.
|
There's a Wallaby up by the railway track;
He's there nearly every day,
Eyes watch me as I go by;
With dark grey fur and bright, clear eyes,
And legs like springs, to hop.
Large soft ears to hear all sounds.
Long tail to steer the way.
A kind of little Kangaroo;
But a species of it's own.
You have to love this little guy, in his grassy home.

I think, though, that if you also repeated the first letter in each line at the side down the page, it would stand out better Bob. I've done these poems and they are quite difficult. You have done a good job. I love wallabies too and you have described this one well. |

I will think about putting the first letter of each line in some form where they stand out a bit and indicate that it is an acrostic. |
