SCRIPT – (Acrostics buried in a Haiku)
Scrawled Crayon Read Is
Painful Torture. Students Can
Rarely Ink Pen Too.

Now this is clever!
Susan,
Thanks… I’m considering it as a prompt… the Acrostic Haiku blend.
Just sadistic enough to really appeal to me–go for it
I wouldn’t have even thought of attempting this. Amazing ! Those students need training
Cheryl,
Thanks! I enjoy both Acrostics and Haiku so it was fun to blend the two…
Thanks for stopping by and giving feedback.
Peace,
Stephen
Oh really enjoyed this and the smile it produced, very clever and witty
Thanks Bruce

Joanne,
Teacher… broad term
I have 3 kids, does that count?
But no, I do not teach in the traditional meaning of the word…
Thanks for stopping by and commenting
Oh! wonderful!! Perfect!!!
Meenakshi, Thanks!! Glad you liked it…
brilliant brilliant !
Thanks Deborah!
Acrostics? I’m amazed. It’s like a puzzle inside Haiku.

Alice,
I enjoy both acrostics and Haiku… so combining them was fun…
I also enjoy writing response poems so a duet would be great! I’ve been REALLY swamped at work as of late (in fact still here at likely will be through the night) but some point I’ll come up for air and see what we can do.
I would love the opportunity. Let me know when you have time to breathe.
Alice
Been working since a little after 6am yesterday.. right now I’m just trying to find a little room to sleep
I look forward to it…
If you’re itching to get started and have some time, then write a poem and when I get a time I’ll respond. Or, find something you’ve written that you think would be a good one for me to take a stab at and I’ll take a look. If you want to see some of the other stuff I’ve done like this, search my blog (top right corner) for “In response to.” You can also do a search for “inspired by.” to see poems inspired by paintings, photos and music.
Ok back to work for me…
I wrote an essay about the muse this morning in response to your poem “It’s You”. I put a link to your poem on the bottom but don’t know what a “pingback” is exactly yet. I shall learn today. Get some rest.
Alice
Alice, I believe you are referring to a poem that Trent wrote. I have also written about my muse but .. that poem wasn’t mine. One of the ones I wrote is here http://wp.me/pNbgI-fH
I was inspired by a piece of music I heard.
In short, a ping back is when you put a link back to a blog posting. On that persons blog, if they allow ping backs, then a link with a short portion of what you said is shown under the comments. If you follow the link you put in your post (to Trent’s poem) you will see a “ping back” near the top of the comments section.
ugh.. I’m actually still at work. Been working since a little after 6am on Monday and it’s now 2am on Wed… and I’m still here, have had about 2 hours of sleep.. and am about to head to “bed”… missing my poetry / WP time and trying to squeeze in a bit here before I try and get a few hours sleep. back at it around 6am
I’ll emerge at some point and we’ll see if we can collaborate
