Poetry Challenge—Introducing the Acrostic Form 3: The Calendar Acrostic

Sometimes writers used the months of the year to give them inspiration for verse. These calendar acrostics can use either an abbreviation of the month, or the full name:

Why don’t you give it a try? Try writing at least one calendar acrostic for each day of this week.
