The Friday Fling Makes Nice With Icy Stuff in Acrostics!
Friday Fling #164 January 20th 2012
Dunno about you, but for us up here in the frozen northlands, where it’s closing in on midwinter, the common liquid known as water has become the common solid known as – ICE!
It’s a fun change for those who enjoy such things as ice skating, ice hockey, ice fishing, ice cream, icicles.
In the world of poetry ice itself is a nice compact little word. But in the format known as the Acrostic, where the beginning of each line is a word starting with a letter in a word you can read down the left side of the poem, ice can be a treasure or a curse. It starts with I, so it suffICEs to start a line where you need an I in the Acrostic word. But it also has two vowels, I and E, and a not so Commonly used letter C (you get 3 or 4 points for using one in Scrabble)
So yeah this is to get you fired up to write an Acrostic about ice, where you use the word ice somewhere in the poem! Like
I magine
C old winter sports!
E xciting!
or
C ompeting
O utside in winter.
L ove those ice sports!
D aytime delights!
This week the Friday Fling has winter Acrostical fun with ice!
Be sure to save time to read and comment on your fellow Pals crystal Acrostic creations. Then go do something N-ice this weekend!

Congratulations Rebel!
Welcome everyone to the Friday Fling! This week we’re going out into the cold to commune with…ice! Icy objects and products, ice sports, anything ice-related. Pull up an ice cube and try writing an Acrostic with the word ICE in it somewhere! Let the frozen poetic confections flow!
This is by Sonnet Diva! Thank you Lori for your contribution!

ICE FIGURES
Ice frozen
Covers the ground
Every where you look
Frozen trees leaves even
Icicles hangin from roof tops
Guard rails and poles all about
Under the pouch even
Really frozen ice figure
Elegant to see
