Years ago, I began work on a collection of acrostic poems
titled What's in a Word. I never submitted the manuscript to a
publisher. Fortunately, Kenn Nesbitt selected one of the poems from the
collection for his anthology One Minute till Bedtime: 60-Second Poems to
Send You Off to Sleep. The book was published by Little, Brown in 2016.
Here's CRICKETS--my acrostic that appears in Kenn's anthology:
Chirping
in the dark, their song
Resonates
In
the still air. A
Chorus
of summer night strummers in concert with
Katydids
Entertaining
warm evenings with
Their
Symphony
of wings.
BOOK GIVEAWAY
I'll be giving away an autographed copy of A Suitcase of
Seaweed & More by Janet Wong. It's not only an excellent poetry book--it's
also an excellent classroom writing resource, which could inspire students to
write poems about their own life experiences.
To be entered into the drawing for the book, all you have to
do is to comment on any of my Wild Rose Reader posts that I publish from April
14th through April 20th. I'll announce the winner on Sunday, April 21st.
