Sometimes a phrase will jump out at me and I’ll do my best to make it into an acrostic. That happened with I read sonofwalt’s post here.
He started the post with
“I had planned an outdoor reading today, but the weather got fickle, started spitting and gusting and causing a fuss, so I had to change plans. This is part of the difficulty I think of committing myself to producing a video a day for National Poetry Month. I suppose I can expect more of such before April is through with me.”
The line “… the weather got fickle, started spitting and gusting and causing a fuss” jumped out at me so I created the acrostic of it below:

Absolutely. Glad to have been part of it.
This must have been quite hard work to produce Stephen. Lord knows I think I would have torn my hair out. Well done you.
Talia,
I have come to really enjoy the challenge of writing longer acrostics. I’ve created several A through Z acrostics as well. The biggest thing to me is trying to make it relevant to the line or phrase while also making it read smoothly (as can be) as if it was written out in a paragraph. I was tickled with this one to actually use Koch (the last name of the poet that David was reading from here http://dadpoet.wordpress.com/2012/04/10/day-10-30-days-30-readings-you-were-wearing-by-kenneth-koch/
Thanks for the feedback!
Peace,
Stephen
