These were written for the CPC Friday Fling poetry challenge, where Michelle and I are looking for Acrostics involving some sort of surprise explained or presented.  I tried one using all one word lines.  The second is a “Hidden Acrostic” in which the letters of the words which read vertically are hidden in different locations in each line rather than the first letters.  I capitalized the hidden letters to make them easier to spot.

L ucy was working in a candy factory.
U nable to keep pace, she began eating the candies. The little boy exclaimed: “Lucy’s got
C hocolate all over her face!” A story cherished by my mother in later
Y ears.
