While I have been on vacation the weather has been very inconsistent and my children have been rather grumpy about it. The grumblings of my little ones inspired me to try out writing a different kind of acrostic. This type of acrostic spells out a word from the top down on the left hand side and from the bottom up on the right hand side.
Rainbow
R ain pelted relentlessly at my bedroom window
A fter my friends and I had made big plans too
I was so miserable that I started to stomp and sob
N ever does this happen when I have a bus to get on
B oy, there never was a kid as unhappy as I
O bligations slipping away, just like abracadabra
W allowing in my misery, I growled like a tiger
R aging and caterwauling, angry down to my marrow
A cknowledging defeat, I kissed hope ciao!
I ncredulous, the loss was too much to absorb
N othing but a change in the forecast could assuage my pain
B lotchy faced, I stood looking out the door to the lanai
O bstinately wishing for a vision a la polychromatica
W anting nothing more than to control the weather!
