Love the photo? I took it at a little cafe in St. Francisville, Louisiana a lot of motorcycle riders frequent. "HOG-wild for Christmas," I think is a good caption.
Today's holiday meme treat comes from {and, hey, it's not even Wednesday and you're getting mo writerly nuggets} friend Barbara over at The Serenity Room. Of course I had to tweak it and break some rules (I'm just like dat sometimes), but it was fun to do. I'm not gonna tag folks, so feel free to borrow it for your own bloggy's devious purposes, twisting and turning it to form a new or traditional version of this acrostic game.
But before that, and since I loves me some trivia as you know, here's some background on the word acrostic since I had to do a little research at Wikipedia to make sure I was calling this meme the right thing: Acrostic: a poem, or other writing in an alphabetic script, in which the first letter, syllable or word of each line, paragraph or other recurring feature in the text spells out another message. An acrostic can be used as a mneumonic device to aid memory retrieval. A famous acrostic was made on the Greek for the acclamation Jesus Christ, God's Son, Savior which in Greek is: Iesous CHristos, THeou Uios, Soter (ch and th being each one letter in Greek and u is also y). The initials spell ICHTHUS (same as ICHTHYS), Greek for fish; hence the frequent use of the fish by early Christians and up to now as a symbol for Jesus Christ.
Now, boysies and girlies, wasn't that a cool example to have found right here at Christmastime?! So, on with the Christmas Acrostic for Writers (or in Gumbo Writer language, the C.A.W.) *grin* ~~
