An Acrostic

Gotham Writers' Workshop and Writing.com are sponsoring this writing contest in honor of the movie debut of Alice in Wonderland. They challenged participants to come up with an acrostic inspired by the word "wonder." I thought I'd give it a try. I didn't know what an acrostic was before finding out about this contest and was fascinated with what I read. It's kinda like a poetic puzzle. So, even though all entries must not be previously published, I'm still going to "publish" my acrostic here. (I don't think "publishing" on blogger counts anyway.)

So here it is. I hope you enjoy and are inspired to write an acrostic of your own.

Possibility

Searching and uncertain, you ask if I can fly,

Eyes unable to see the possibility.

Everything is not always as it seems.

My life may be enchanted.

Yours, too, if you open your mind to wonder.

With arms outstretched I step toward the ledge.

I am trembling with anticipation,

Never questioning my ability to soar.

Give me your hand, I say to you.

Step forward and we will ascend with birds--or angels.
