    Hey WalkingStick, you have 50 sim points in Joe's square game still to claim!

    I like all the variations on the theme! Nice.

    I'm kind of nervous to post this. I write silly poems for my girls on their birthdays but have never tried an Acrostic. Well, here goes:

    Creative Corner

    Carefully creating
    Recoloring each wall
    Ever changing ideas
    Adjusting them all.
    Trying something new
    Imagining it's done
    Very soon you're finished
    Exchange here we come!

    Creating is my passion
    On my mind throughout the day
    Rushing through Real Life
    Now it's time to play!
    Escaping into sims world
    Relieving stress this way.

    I just want to say that all the poems here are so cool! It's funny how you can see a person's personality shining through their words. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!

    Excellent poem and great choice Cath! And yes we do see the person through the poem. I like that perspective!

    Yay! It's back!

    Natural Cook?

    No time to read
    A meal will be easy!
    Turn on the gas
    Up jumps the flame
    Recipe? What recipe?
    Any veg will do!
    Linguine? Perfect.

    Chop chop chop
    Onions frying away
    Oh no! Fire! Fire!
    Knives away, Sim.

    WOOHOO
    Where did mom and dad sim go,
    Over the hills and through the snow?
    Oh, the igloo is warmly lit.
    How in the world did they fit?
    Only laughter can be heard.
    On my way, don’t say a word.

    I could not resist this contest! Everyone is doing such a great job!


    GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

    Goodly, gooey insides
    Rapt in deliciousness
    I long for you
    Luscious larder
    Lifelong love
    Elated when I am with you
    Do not burn!

    Captive to your divinity
    Helpless
    Every moment together
    Elevates me
    Such ceaseless appeal
    Eat, eat

    Savory seduction
    Am I in heaven?
    No, you are an Earthly
    Delight
    Warm
    Inviting
    Climax; you are devoured!
    Hunger quelled. . . For now

    I want to post one but I can't decide....I can't decide if I want to make a new one for the theme and stuff, or if I want to post an older one (which I have to find the folder I have them in anyways).

    Does this end at midnight? xD

    Your poem is very nice WrathofCath :) It captures creating, simming and looking forward to playing the game very well.

    Great Natural Cook themed poem AnnitaEatsYa :) It is great that you have done it to the acrostic styles It is not good when fire erupts in the sims kitchen!

    Your grilled cheese sandwich poem is written very well jezebelthenun :) It makes me feel like going and eating a tasty grill cheese sandwich right now!

    Glitches

    Goodness how can this be?
    Little baby sims that look like trees!
    In the ground all around,
    Thought bubbles from Sims trapped underground!
    Children that won't stop sneaking.
    How did the neighbor get stuck always streaking!?
    Even the cat is not free of error,
    So many glitches that can bring terror!

    Bad CC

    Breaking your game with attractive goodies,
    Anyone's guess to what will happen next!
    Doesn't that dress look so great?

    Caution to the wind, installing it is for the best!
    Calamity now, your Sim holding a baby monster while looking great!



    ....Obviously I've been hanging out on the bugs forums to much today. I'm not so good at poetry so forgive the horrors I've created. It was just to fun sounding to resist. If I'm forgiven for these I may goof off with more later.

    Great themes for your poems ElementDragon :) It is not good when glitches appear and bad CC causes problems in simmers games.

    Thanks, AnnitaEatsYa! :)

    Yours is great, too! I love that you added a question mark to the title and then had a fire start at the end.

    These have been so much fun to read!

    Pixel Peoples

    Playing this gamE
    Into the wee hours, becoming obnO-
    Xious from lack of sleeP.
    Eventually, I will stop, but I stilL
    Love my littlE
    Pixel peopleS.

    I so rarely post but I truly enjoyed reading all the poems and wanted to share in the fun with all of you lovely simmers! It is a Double Acrostic, so first then last letters downwards. Obviously, poetic license came in handy. Apologies for the horrific grammar and poetry; I just like puzzles and word games. And Sims. I like Sims very much. :D

    Thank you for hosting such a fun and creative thread!

    So many creative people! I LOVE IT!

    This submission portion will end in the morning. I'm on EST, and I usually close things around 10 am EST. That's in about 11 hours.

    Then everyone can vote for their top two! :mrgreen:

    Voting rules:
    - Pick whichever two poems called out to you this week.
    - You cannot vote for me. You are wasting a perfectly good vote.

    That is all. See you all in the morning!

    You are very creative and clever to do a double acrostic poem! BklynbkbPlayer :) It is great how you have used the first and last letters to spell out your title! It is great that you posted and can enjoy joining in the fun with us. Simming is fun! I look forward to seeing you posting more poems in the next few weeks too. :)

    Blythelyre, would it be possible to list all the poems on the front page or one of the later pages? It would make it a bit easier to find them. I would hate to miss someone's work when figuring out who to vote for.
    Going to be a tough choice! So many clever ones :D

    I completely agree with Rose! BklynbkbPlayer, how very clever of you! :shock:

    Blythelyre, thank you for hosting this very cool thread, but Please, don't make us do what BklynbkbPlayer did! I have trouble just walking and chewing gum, lol!

    Thank you so much Rose and Ciane, for your very lovely comments on my poem! I Love both of yours too!

    In fact, every poem that has been entered here is so unique and awesome! It really will be tough to choose just two...

    The Sims

    Terribly addicting,
    Hilarious and bewitching,
    Every character my clay
    So unique every play
    It keeps me up at night in my fiendish delight!
    My sims let me be
    So many faces and then I am free!


    I wrote many and I have to post this before I got nuts LOL. My poem I like the most,I wrote while I was trying out the acrostic poetry, I wrote one about spring. I want to share it even if its not for the contest.

    Spring
    Sun breaks through,
    Peeking out warm rays, to
    Reawaken Buds and blooms
    I feel alive again
    Nests singing,
    Get out of bed!

    Very nicely written acrostic poems skyeseeker :) Each sim really is unique and it is fun watching them live their sims life. Your Spring poem captures the loveliness of the sunshine, flowers and birds of Springtime.
