Black [Acrostic]

by Jessica   Apr 14, 2007


B urning savagely into pale, soft flesh
L icking rapturously at her open wounds
A cidic liquids running from broken veins
C rimson showers painfully released from eyes
K illing silently all that lies within her soul

An Acrostic is a poetry form where you use the letters that make up the word as the first letter of each line.

    Dark, mysterious, heartwrenching -- great ingredients for a flawless poem. I love this, a very well written acrostic. ;]

    Acrostics can be difficult to write due to the restricting format, but it shows your creativity for attempting one. I think it is better to not rhyme with this form, it seems to flow better and lets face it its hard enough without adding the further restriction of rhyme, so well done for that.
    Hmm the subject again wasn't really my thing. But I like how you used the form, so I'll say no more.

    I love the acrostic; it was very creative. But I hope you didn't need to add the meaning of an acrostic b/c some people didn't understand(especially if they are writers). That's embarassin'(kidding!)
