An ABC poem so vice withers.4 total reviews
Comment from Julie Helms
I see that others have already pointed out that this is not a valid entry for the acrostic contest. But I wanted to let you know how to get rid of that white highlighting if you were interested. When you copy and paste from your original document, do it onto Notepad, then copy and paste it from Notepad into the fanstory editor box. Notepad removes the hidden formatting that causes it. About my first 20 entries here on FS all have that highlighting till I figured out how to remove it!

Thank you, Julie, for the helpful hint.
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I enjoyed your fine poem here Victoria but this is not an ABC poem, you have entered it into the Acrostic Contest. An acrostic poem means that the first letter of each sentence makes a word going down. Here is a simple example.
L oving means, be kind--
O pen up your heart and mind,
V ibrant colours fill the room--
E njoying stars, romantic moon
You will need to adjust your poem for the contest. Good luck.

Thank you, Dolly. I did get mixed up with ABC and Acrostic poems.

Skillful word choice! However I do not think this is an acrostic poem but an ABC poem. An acrostic spells a word with the first letter of each line. But it is still well written and I enjoyed it! :)

This is very nicely written and I could be wrong but I think you have mistaken what an Acrostic poem is. An Acrostic poem spells a word down the left side of the poem. I believe you have confused it with the format that uses the alphabet down the side. Please check with others to be sure. I could be wrong. I wish you luck in continuing with the contest.
