Acrostic Poems

Had an idea for a new topic, acrostic poems.

They are poems where the first letter of each line makes up a word usually relating to the word itself, so for example I shall write an acrostic poem for acrostic:

An acrostic poem
Can be about anything,
Really.
Of course, some people
Start each line with a sentence,
Though,
I prefer weaving words into a
Creation that is more freeform.

So here are the rules:
Leave another word at the bottom of the poem. If you forget then the person who wants to write a poem must do one using your username.
Your poem should relate to the word above, so I'm going to write 'Strawberry', you must write an acrostic poem about strawberries.

It's really very simple, so yes my word is Strawberry.

Scintillatingly scrumptious and,
Tasty little,
Red spotted berries of joy.
Always readily available for consumption within,
Wimbledon's lawn tennis championships.
Berate them at your peril as,
Everyone there will agree these,
Red berries bring luck to our young Scottish boy.
Really though,
You all know that's because it's a rare fruit where you can eat the pips!



Next word: Antidisestablishmentarianism :p

A word which
Noone uses or knows
the definition
is this.
do not pass go
in this
stupid
egotistic
slurpy
thing
and carry on
being surreal to the
last.
I
somehow want
her
menthol cigarette.
egads
now
this is making
absolutely no sense.
really
it is
an idiotic prose.
not even
I
should be
moobags.

the next word has to be COASTERFORCE!

Credit cataloguing,
Observing parks and logging.
Attending fun-filled rendezvous,
Set in thrilling atmospheres.
To gleefully enjoy,
Every up and every down,
Riding all across the land,
Forcing smiles from every frown.
Overall it's more a space,
Rather than an actual place, where
Coaster goons can be as one,
Eternally a place of fun!

Bedrock and Brackish, my heart and my blood
Igneous and Idiomorphic, cold eyes b'neath hood
Slate and Sanidine, toughened internal matter
Chlorite and Calcrete, I'll expulse and I'll scattter
Ultamafic and Urgonian, beware my rage
Ilminite and Indurated, incomprehensible is my age
Tillite and Triclinic, I'm the Earth, yes that's me
Slump and Silt, broken biscuit in my tea

Sue, yours is AMAZING XD

Challenging little blighters,
Have you up all night,
Often you don't want to do them,
Really, they're quite a fright,
Even when they're all done, there'll be more to do tomorrow.

The shorter words are harder :p

I do love this - hurrah for creativity :)

Transfixed
Everyone in the world
Looking
Escaping from banal reality
Voyeurism
Insisting other's lives are more interesting
Stagnating
Involvement with real life becomes secondary
Obsolete
Now what will television do with the rise of YouTube?

Beetroot

I thought it was something more creative than banning people ;)

Bloody awful stuff is beetroot.
Every bite,
Every mouthful
Tastes like pure evil.
Real men eat celery, not beetroot.
Or maybe you'd prefer a nice, ripe tomato?
Often eat beetroot do you?
Then look in the loo when you pee, pink isn't it?

Antipodeans live down
under, in
small houses with
tortoises
'roos
and
lions, actually, maybe not lions, because lions don't live
in
australia

Blimey, I think
Unbelievable, I exclaim
Really, I'm incredulous?
Denied access, you say?
Extraction impossible, they claim
No way out, they continue
Obstruction in doorway, the sign reveals
Urination complete, it's announced
Sue is still stuck in the loo

Pantaloon

furie, you've had me in stitches today. So many rock puns. Can I just say what a brilliant topic this is.
Anyway...

Pleasing to say,
Annoying to spell,
No idea how to wear.
The pantaloon
All praise the goons, who
Like Victorian underwear.
Or are they overwear?
Or maybe I just shouldn't care?
No, I think it's the first...
Sod it!

Thank you :D

Last train of the night?
Oh dear.
Considering that hadn't you better run?
Or maybe walk and not get home?
Maybe you don't want to get home?
Or maybe you fancy one more pint?
Twenty minutes to go...
It can't hurt...can it? You'd like another beer
Very much, wouldn't you?
Every time.

Ok, that last line is awful but I had no idea what to write so shhh.

Hmmm, Wieliczka is my word, good luck ;)

What can it mean?
It sounds a bit polish
Eastern european anyway!
Lyrical it sounds,
it rolls nicely off the tongue
cornucopia does too
Zebedee is a cool dude
Kings of leaon are awesome
and that's that on wieliczka!

My "word" is CREDITWHORES

Coasters that are crap,
Run away, they dare not,
Every one's simply a trap.
Dare
I say,
To
Whomever it may concern,
However the circumstances,
Only
Rain will get in their way,
Every other day,
Someway, they play, on the Go-Gators, now **** the haters.

Freedom and right some say,
Idiots say I.
Ripping apart fleash
Ending so many lives
American schools weep
Rhyme and reason lost
Morbid truth is
Some freedom!

I like that Sue, but it didn't make me laugh ;) :p

Violence in head and heart
Obliterate rational thought
Leaving weeping memories of
Childhood ruined
Adolescence in tatters
No concern now
Only begging forgiveness too late

Chunder-Monkey

Charming!
Have you heard of subtle, Furie?
Using a phrase like chunder-monkey?
Now, I'm not the subtlest of people,
Daniel, aka ATTACKHAMMER will back me up on that, but
Even I wouldn't say such a thing.
Realistically I'm just
Making mountains
Out of mole hills.
Nothing wrong with chunder-monkey really. O
K?
Every word so far has been polite really...
You have to lower the tone. ;)

My word is Panasonic

Perhaps named for a God of the underworld, or
ANAlog loop Alarm circuit of type plain, or
Network Access: a Protocol for carrying Authentication of, or
A little know village in Tibet
Sound has to resonate this part of the name, or
Omnivorous blue spiked hedgehogs in games, or
Never letting The Doctor down in screwdriver form, or
If there's a boom overhead, but
Can anyone tell me from where came this name really?
