First letters in each line make a word, phrase, or sentence.
Exercise Uno:
Single Acrostic
Write a word/phrase/sentence down the side and then try to fill in the words. Best written at top speed.
BABY SITTER
Of course we don’t know much;
next to nothing, only the vaguest details,
we might say.
Across oceans of ambivalence,
roads, winding around passion,
did we stop to breathe? Did
we once take a moment, and,
earnestly, count what has been
made or what had been destroyed?
Are we made to worship this
reality? On the dining-room
chair: hardened macaroni, a golden
hair, a sticky blob of warm vanilla.
Exercise Dos
Double Acrostic
Make a phrase on both sides of the line
another girl has
negotiated with a guru:
drug dealing aphrodisiac
of a part-time patch
the man did not know
her heart, ripped into
ephemeral fleets of promise
revealed only to the greats
