Colleen, our mentor, said:This week’s challenge is to write a specific form with a twist! And I messed it up, I did not use the words she provided for us. Which are:
Write an acrostic poem with a syllable count of 8, 9, or 10 syllables per line (all the same, or a mixture of syllable counts, is fine).
Now I did not read the challenge properly and used my own word , Space… Well Colleen pointed this out to me. So here is my second and correct entry .
I chose SPECTER and used the syllables in each line of Eight, Nine, Nine, Eight, Eight, Ten, Ten.
Spirit of the dark a ghostly Phantom swirling through the woods at night Ethereal and ghostly you fill Completely my soul and body Tread carefully for my nerves are Electric and I am wired to fly Reveal yourself specter and spare my soul
This week Kat at Like Mercury Colliding is writing Tricubes…. as always her poetry choices amaze me and I have to try one …or more this is my first attempt. Thank you Kat.
Tricubes Here are the rules of tricubes:
Each line contains three syllables.
Each stanza contains three lines.
Each poem contains three stanzas.
So we’re talking cubes in mathematical terms (to the third power). No rules for rhymes, meter, etc. Just three, three, and three.

Today I am thinking of Space and my wish to be there. So my acrostic poem is SPACE. The syllablic count are as the lines run , eight, nine, ten, eight, ten in five lines.
Spanning infinitesimal Phenomenal beauty far beyond All imagination bathed in silence Cosmic holes filled with stars and dust Eternal drifting, never ending space
Welcome to Truthful Tuesday, a prompt originally set by PCGuyIV, covered by Melanie and now hosted by Di at Pensitivity101 until PCGuy1V wants to take it back.
This week’s question is: Would you like to go up in to space?
Hell yes! I wish!
I want to fly a star fighter I want Starbuck’s uniform.
I wanted to fight the Cylons watch their ships in flames over Orion at dawn.
I wanted to fly beyond the speed of light, and curse swear and fight.
I wanted to play cards and drink into the night. I wanted to straith the Cylon’s rebirthing ship with diagonal fire.
To wipe them out is my heart’s desire.
I wanted to argue with my superiors and blow smoke in their faces.
I can do their jobs and be in two places.
I need to lead a fleet of earnest pilots who would follow me to their death.
They would be my responsibility and I would protect them with my final breath.
I would never let them know that, though, I’d need to be aloof and mean,
Yes even if I loved them so, I’d not let that be seen.
I’d be so cool
I would love to look sexy in my vest and flight suit minus my top.
I would love to excited the lads and bop bop bop!
I’d be happy teaching flight techniques and how fire missiles and cannon and just how to stop a Centurion with a strategic oil leak!
I would make your hair stand on end and your face truly blush
With the expletives designed to crush.
I would love to be the one who held the whole planet’s lives with in my hands,
Even if at first I had no idea that I was part of the gods secret plans.
I would take it on the chin to come back from the dead to everyone’s delight.
To start again immediately just jurn me round I’d fight.
It’s true I like a drink, gambling and like a good cigar.
I’m damn good in bed I’ll sort you out what ever rank you are!
I am the best pilot as I have said before
I shall find the Cylon’s mothership and give the frackers what for!
I’ll rip the skin off Number Six and I’ll show her no quarter.
She beat the living crap out of me and then denied me even water.
I’ll lead you all to safety find you all another world
For I am really an angel that keeps her wings tight furled!
I am that star you see at night when it is darkest before the dawn.
I am the one who will shoot straightest so none of you need be forlorn.
I am the mighty Starbuck , Kara Thrace is my real name .
But what ever you call me I shall save you all the fracking same!
I am with 12 years of experience and ready to achieve any type of works such as, converting any form from JPG, PDF, ...etc into Excel,Word, PowerPoint and other editable forms, In addition to having a deep experience in inserting and managing data
