Poetry Challenge - Introducing the Acrostic Form 4: The Multiple Acrostic Type 1

An acrostic may use more than one letter, syllable or word in each line.
 

WItches celebrate this day, some say,

Not those whose souls are pure

TErribly often do they forget those who may

Reverently worship on this short day of cold

SOon to celebrate the season’s passing

Losing the cold, rest days

STIll the spring is coming

CErtain warmth and new growth at play.

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