An acrostic is a favorite type of poem of mine, just as Thalia Chaltas, author of the fine "Because I Am Furniture" is a favorite author of mine. I glanced at Thalia's website recently, and saw more of her books, that are also similarly geared towards tales of empowering the youth. Also, multitudes of her releases are actually collections of poetry, so it makes quite a bit of since to attribute such poetry to her essence. She has confessed to reporters that many of the writings she posts are based on actual events from her own personal life. She changes names as to avoid embarrassing anyone involved with the stories. The fact that she is willing to throw out details of her own life to the public, really shows how strong of a woman she is, and is setting a model for all women everywhere, to stand up and turn their lives, no matter how bleak or dreary they may be, and turn it into a literary empire worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
That is a very cool way of getting your point across by using each letter to start your main points. It's a good blog and very creative. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteHey Im Jose from Fremd High School. I think I have only done one or two of these types of poems in my life and I think they are pretty creative. Its awsome how you can create a story out of the beginning of letters. I agree with you that the author having the courage to give details of her life makes her stronger becomes its being put out there for the whole world to read. But atleast shes giving a voice for those who can relate to her.
