Hello, everyone! Welcome to the fourth installment of my NaPoWrimo Diaries Series!
Today’s poem was adapted from the emotions from my seventh and eighth chapters of Can You Spell Werewolf?
Let’s get into it!
D escending upon me is an opportunity to
E ssentially take the chance to accomplish
S omething of my own, but I feel like I need
T o be tentative yet brave enough to ask:
I s this my destiny? I want to say
“N o it can’t be”, but something is telling me
“Y es, and it should be.”
Is this my destinY?
Something that I can’t say No
To? I cannot fathom why I
Feel both drawn and Sickened
Both repelled and Tempted
So this must be the Explanation:
This is just opportunity, not Destiny
For those of you who are wondering why this acrostic poem has two stanzas and the second stanza spelled out “Destiny” backwards, I decided to create a new type of acrostic poem: the double symmetrical acrostic.
In this form, you spell out the letters of your chosen acrostic forwards in the first stanza, and you spell it backwards in the second stanza.
The second backwards stanza can have the letters backwards, at the beginning of the stanza, like a standard acrostic poem, or the middle of the stanza, or the end of the poem, like my double symmetrical poem’s stanza!
CAN YOU SPELL WEREWOLF MINI-UPDATE:
None. I wrote 0 words yesterday! Better luck today!
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this poem and learning about my new invention of the acrostic poem!
Stay tuned for tommorrow’s poem I’m calling:
