With Thanksgiving only a day away, I thought an acrostic writing using the word Thanksgiving would be appropriate for this week’s writing prompt. What I like about acrostic writing is that it helps those creative juices flow by offering direction and, I believe, the finished product can make even the reluctant writer unleash his/her inner poet.
Tears of joy, not pain
Hugs from others, especially the unexpected ones
Answers to prayers
Novels which make me stay up past my bedtime . . .
Kindness from others and to others
Sassy walk as learned on a Girl Scout field trip
Girls
Invitations, unexpected and inclusive of all
Volleyball coaching with a dear friend
Introductions
Nestled under the covers on a chilly night
Gratitude for all that was,all that is, and all that will be
Be sure and SHARE your acrostic writing in the comments section (especially if you are one of my English 111 students).
