\nTopic: Wicked Good Wednesday<\/p>\n

We have reached the last Wednesday of November.
\nFOUR more WEDNESDAYS in 2018.<\/p>\n

–
\nDedication of Wicked Good Wednesday.
\nIn HONOR of DEON (D.P.) Lyons, Author.<\/p>\n

Welcome to – WICKED GOOD WEDNESDAY –<\/p>\n

Why this name for WEDNESDAY?
\nDeon often referred to his Windows 10 program as Wicked Good Windows 10.<\/p>\n

I’ll be writing my<\/p>\n

Wicked Good Wednesday Blog Posts <\/strong><\/p>\n

to celebrate the WICKED GOOD LIFE that we all share.<\/p>\n

Deon is now in a battle with cancer and undergoing intensive treatments in his home state of Maine.
\nA group of his literary friends from
\n Behind Our Eyes – <\/a> to write an ACROSTIC POEM which will become<\/p>\n

A LITERARY WREATH<\/p>\n

of good wishes and prayers for Deon. Each of us chose a theme for our part of the wreath.<\/p>\n

I chose to offer GLITTER for the wreath.
\nTherefore, my ACROSTIC EXTENDED TANKA poem is “glitter & sequins.”<\/p>\n

But this is only 1\/2 of the story!<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is Part 1 of my story, Glitter & Sequins<\/em>.<\/strong>
\n
\nI will post Part 2 tomorrow.<\/strong><\/p>\n

–<\/p>\n

What is an ACROSTIC POEM?” you asked.
\n“Oh, thanks for asking. I’d be glad to show you how the ACROSTIC POEM is created,” I said. “In fact, you can write one, too. Let’s get started right now.”<\/p>\n

First, we will write one word (or a phrase) vertically down the LEFT SIDE of our page.<\/p>\n

For example, my poem is “glitter and sequins.”<\/p>\n

I start by writing the word “glitter” vertically down the LEFT MARGIN of my page.
\nMy page looks like this:<\/p>\n

G
\nL
\nI
\nT
\nT
\nE
\nR<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Next, I begin to write the poem using the first letters, in each of the lines.<\/p>\n

My poem is 7 lines because the word “glitter” has 7 letters.<\/h2>\n

Below is the Poem I wrote to add to my friend’s Literary Wreath.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

glitter and sequins<\/p>\n

glitter and sequins
\nlight reflected on crystals
\niridescent pearls
\ntruffles in gold cellophane
\ntarts with cherries and walnuts
\neach Christmas wreath sparkles with
\nremembrances for Deon.<\/p>\n

–<\/p>\n

In Next week’s post, I will give you the story about where this writing project led me, after I wrote the poem.
\nRemember, I said, “One Thing leads to another.”
\nLet’s see where this ONE THING leads me. I think you will like it!
\n_<\/p>\n

Oh, there is just one more bit of information thing I need to share with you about this poem.
\nYes, the format is the ACROSTIC poem, as I described to you.<\/p>\n

But I challenged myself to ALSO make the poem a “tanka” poem, at the same time.
\nWhen you read each line of the poem, you will hear the syllables.
\nListen as you read each line out loud. COUNT THE SYLLABLES.
\nHere is what you will hear:<\/p>\n

Line 1 – 5 syllables
\nLine 2 – 7 syllables
\nLine 3 – 5 syllables
\nLine 4 – 7 syllables
\nLine 5 – 7 syllables
\nLine 6 – 7 syllables
\nLine 7 – 7 syllables<\/p>\n

Typically, a tanka has no more than 5 LINES.
\nBecause I wanted to work with the word “glitter” I added on 2 more lines.
\nEach of the 2 extra lines have 7 syllables.<\/p>\n

Just for fun!<\/strong><\/p>\n

And, Just because this the WICKED GOOD WEDNESDAY.
\nBe sure to check my post tomorrow and I will show you something new.<\/p>\n

Remember? I said, “one ting leads to another?”<\/h2>\n

Have a WICKED GOOD WEDNESDAY.<\/p>\n
