NaPoWriMo Day 17: Language for Sunday Scribblings

Here's an acrostic of American Sentences.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -


Laughter, like a wireless phone connection, rings in my heart and soul.

Announcer of emotions like birds in trees cawing about the cold temps.

Nouns and verbs marching like soldiers from lips through air to ears, hup, two, three…

Gestures: fingers that point and show disgust, hands saying come here or stop.

Ugh, ah, oh, wow, gee, ooh, ow, eek: sounds of life, words unnecessary.

Authors of books are heroes, with their backpacks of words and ideas.

Gazes that flow like the scent of baking bread with messages of love.

Envelopes of words we slit open to release the magic of speech.

    I think that's tremendous. I've only just discovered acrostics (to write, that is) and I think they're great fun.

    I LOVE how you did this. I've done these before to hide messages I didn't want just anyone to read LOL. But I've never thought to do one like this. GREAT job!

    What fun! I love the closing line, those envelopes of words slit open to release the magic of speech; reminded me of how I once felt, receiving letters from a faraway lover.
