An Acrostic In Time

Dealing with the first section from the British Council's Creative Ways, we discussed in our first session how to weave texts, comparing the writing process to the making of a piece of fabric. This is achieved by the combination of different elements around a central thread, and the thread we chose to develop our fabric turned out to be simply a word. A word around which the girls wove wonderful acrostics, remembering a very important skill in creative writing: Show, but don't tell. Enjoy.

A way to express yourself,

Romance could be its root,

Talent is not a rule.

Florencia, Yesica and Carla

Rainbows appear when it leaves,

Anger when it seems to come, however

Imagine life without its power

No life would survive.

María Cecilia, Fernanda and Melisa Gaitán

Finally the week is over,

Reading and catching up

Is what I will do.

During the next two days

At least until Sunday

You won't hear of me.

Melisa González, Gala and Marianela

Rounded it is

In your finger you wear it.

No matter gold or silver,

Groom gives it to Bride.

María Eugenia and Cristina

Like butterflies in your stomach,

Only a few can feel it.

Vigorously expressing the feeling

Everyone suffers from it.

Betina and Eugenia
