The Friday Fling Acrostizies October Surprises!
Friday Fling #252 for October 4th 2013
We’ve all heard the expression “October Surprise,”
usually related to politics during a Presidential year
when something in the final weeks makes a difference in the outcome.
Have you ever had some sort of October surprise of your own?
Or is there something surprising about October itself?
How about writing about such?
In an Acrostic!
Especially one with a surprise in it,
where the key word is not all down the left side of the lines
but interspersed in a way that reads down?
Such as:
Of All October surprises
the one which most Pleases
is Perhaps the leaves turning
then Lazily falling.
But thEre is also the harvest
including ripe appleS.
This week the Friday Fling surprises with October surprises in surprise Acrostics!
Be sure to save time to read and comment, surprisingly or not,
on your fellow Pals’ Acrosticals.
Then go have a surprisingly enjoyable first October weekend!
Welcome to the Friday Fling’s surprise Acrostic on October surprises! Pull up an October-related word and write about it in a way which allows you to spell the word from letters in each line. Not as hard as it might sound if you pick the right word and the right lines to describe it 😉

OCTOBER ALOHA
Serene Azure waters
and crystal bLue skies
envelop my hearT
already warmed by the sUn
and hold Me close,
Never far out of sight.
And on this October morning
they Lift my spirits so
with waves gently rOcking,
my soul Healed and renewed,
as I step into this brAnd new day.
