Okie dokie that's fine. I always thought of myself as a Mod and not a Rocker anyway! Oh! Not the poking with a stick thing though! Lol

Re: Sherlock acrostic
Marvellously optimistic loopy Loo yearns hot, odious, pale persons - exactly right!
Only dreams should be kept in their correct realms lest they become nightmares.
Longing is just that;
Longing.
Yet
Hope springs eternal and can conquer all.
Once in action we should expect a negative and a
Positive.
Positive.
...er...
Reaction?

Re: Sherlock acrostic
That was brilliant! I love the way it works across the first line too! Oh dear! That's going to be a hard act to follow! (Lots of apostrophes for Kazza, sorry!)

Re: Sherlock acrostic
Ok. I've done one. I'm not sure how well this works and apologies now to The Beatles and fans.
A Hard Day's Night for
Misery. It's
Only love
Let it be
Lonesome tears in my eyes
Yesterday.
Help!
Only love. It's
Only love. It's
P.S.I love you
Eight days a week.
Run for your life!

Re: Sherlock acrostic
Ok, I'll give it a try... in English!!
I'm not sure if this is all ok, but anyway, there it goes 
Mastermind of crime
Obviously insane
Running a dangerous bussiness
Inside his spider web
Also known as Richard Brook
Reichenbach as well
Teller of children stories
You'll be dragged to hell
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Waiting for a crazy man in a blue box to fall from the sky...
But the thing is, we've taken away all the things that can possibly have happened, so I suppose the only thing that's left, even though it seems really weird, must be the thing that did happen, in fact. (Miss Marple)

Re: Sherlock acrostic
Doesn't have to be in English? OK!
Let's see how my Spanish is coming along.
Matador de los reyes,
Olvido su única motivación,
Rico, peligroso y solitario
Inteligencia, su única arma.
Arte de la muerte,
Remendar de la delincuencia.
Total de todo
Y tan cambiante!

Thanks! Glad you liked it, it's my first acrostic trying to make a bit of sense (I couldn't get anything for the previous ones)
Yours is great too, mor, your Spanish is pretty good.
Veo que eres un alumno muy aplicado

Re: Sherlock acrostic
Not sure if copying from a dictionary for words I don't know is diligent Irene, but thanks all the same 
Come on everyone - it's fun to try and bend language to your will, any language will do!
