Acrostic, Schmagostic!!!

Tracy gave us a nice little prompt for week 165.

But, yeah.

I really stink at acrostic poems.

It was supposed to be in honor of Father's Day.

Geez.

Anyway.

Here's what I came up with.

I’m trying to write an acrostic
It’s as hard as a haiku
My mind doesn’t process letter order
So I stink at this.   Sad but true.
I’m stuck on the letter H.
And the letters E and R.
I started strong but fizzled.
For.  Always.  Thinking. Isn’t getting too far.
I wanted to make it shorter
And use the letters D, A, D.
But that didn’t work well either.
I’m quite frustrated, yessiree.
So for Father’s Day my message
is not acrostic a bit…
Dear Dad.  You always like my sisters better than me.
Sorry to be such a SH@t!

  1. haha.

    I used to write acrostics for little gifts when people were moving away, using their names.

    Not the most fun exercise...
