**Posted by Davina** May 20, 2012 8:45 pm

I'm going to give this one til the 22nd, that's a full week, and then I'll post a new one.

I'll beat you to it and post another one on the 22nd.

Now you are a mod I must poke you with a stick.

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

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?

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!)

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!

Thank you. That is very kind.

Going to post a new topic for an acrostic (oo that rhymes!) tomorrow. Have a go at it folks if you haven't already. It's just for fun!

**Posted by Davina** May 29, 2012 11:21 am

The subject of this week's acrostic will be.....roll of drums....

MORIARTY

I'm not going to post mine until some others have had a go. If you aren't sure what to do look back at the start of this topic thread. Have fun with it!

**Posted by Davina** May 29, 2012 11:22 am

Oh and you don't have to write it in English.

**Posted by Irene Adler** May 29, 2012 11:55 am

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

**Posted by m0r1arty** May 29, 2012 12:48 pm

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!

-Art

Hey there Irene, seems I've spent around an hour composing mine (Still very much 'un estudiante de español').

I like yours very much - great job and very content appropriate!!

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

**Posted by m0r1arty** May 29, 2012 2:37 pm

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!
