Spectrum Acrostics

by **Marion** » Sun Dec 17, 2006 5:45 pm

I was roaming the forum looking at some of the older threads and I wondered, as it is almost Christmas, if we might try another word game.
We had a lot of fun doing OCS by alphabetical word association earlier this year - I wondered if we might try some acrostics?
Acrostics are texts written in an alphabetic script, in which the first letter, syllable or word of each verse, paragraph or other recurring feature in the text spells out another message. For example:

Possibly
Alien
Unlimited
Life

OR (my favourite :angel)

)
Amazingly
Debonair
American
Man
Anyone got any more they'd like to share? They can be proper names, code names or anything connected with Captain Scarlet or NCS.... you can use ones that have already been done, if you like...

I think this is a great idea, just so you know, Marion! I hope it becomes popular...I hope to post one...but must think first...

P.S. Kambei, that's great!

Yes, that's a brilliant one, Kambei.

I shall have to try to think of some more myself...

Ah well, a little mental workout should combat the effect of all the Christmas cheer, I suppose. :wink:
