LEGO Acrostic Poems (was: LEGO Cascading Poems)

Post by smcginnis »

I wanted to do some poems, the kind that are a word displayed vertically with each letter starting a new word. (I've forgotten what they're called :oops:, could someone tell me?) See examples below.

Brickshelf
Bringing (together)
Really
Interesting
Creations,
Kevin's
Site
Helps
Encouarage
LEGO
Fans

LEGO
Letting
Everyone
Get (need a better word here)
Original

So, I ask of you to write some of these too, and to say if you liked mine.

P.S. I don't know if this is the right forum, or if it's allowed. Feel free to move or lock it.

Learning French.

Say it "ESS-MICK-GIN-ISS", with a hard "G", as in "get".

Acrostic Poem. It's a neat trick if you can pull it off. I like your renditions.

Thanks footsteps, I've changed the title. Josh, those are great (especially the Galidor one). I wanted to do C-C, but I couldn't think of anything. Thanks.

Here's another, took me forever to think of:

minifig

Magnificent
Invention,

Irreplacable,
Fans
Instinctively
Gather
