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:
MAGICAL CHARM, SPECTER, FANTASY, CONJURE, UNICORN, IMAGINATON, ORACLE , MALEVOLENCE.
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 is part of Colleen Chesebro’s Tuesday Tanka Challenge.
