My mini-fest of acrostic poems comes to an end with this response to the WordPress Daily Prompt Rhyme.
It seems to need a final line – or a few of them – all contributions welcome, the more the merrier!
R iderless, a word stampede gets worse –
H uman, then, to rein it into verse.
Y ou may love to babble on prosecco –
M e, I get my kicks from verbal echo.
E veryone’s a poet now, they say –

V ying for word supremacy
E xisting just to create
R hythmic patterns to frustrate
S enses and intrigue the brain –
E legies with sweet refrain

Enslaved now to poetic verse.
Great poem. Love the image of the stampede of words.

Can I assume your first line is an addition to the poem? Yeah, poetry stops me racing away with myself …

Not many words rhyme with echo … hence, prosecco! Gecko made even less sense …

What a fun little verse! I love a word stampede and a verbal echo also. Excellent, Dave π

Thanks! The need to rhyme made it trickier than usual. Still waiting for someone to come up with a rhyme for ‘say’ …
