“I’d like to challenge you to write a variation of an acrostic poem. But rather than spelling out a word with the first letters of each line, I’d like you to write a poem that reproduces a phrase with the first words of each line. Perhaps you could write a poem in which the first words of each line, read together, reproduce a treasured line of poetry? You could even try using a newspaper headline or something from a magazine article. Whatever you choose, I hope you enjoy this prompt”

If your heart beats fast It means you’re alive, it Doesn’t make you unique to Serve yourself blackened thoughts You can rise up high as skyscraping trees Wash them away like dirt for It won’t be long before it’s All stardust and dreams Away we go
