MAZEdness
Wonderland Poetry Prompt Challenge Day 22
An acrostic poem for Ellie's Day 22 Wonderland prompt. (I have never done one of these before.
Magical moments for all to see
Astonishing visions come to be
Zany and funny is the way to be
Enjoy your life, there is no guarantee.
[Author’s note: “Mazedness” is a noun meaning the state of being mazed, confused, or bewildered. It's derived from the word "mazed," which means confused or bewildered, and the suffix "-ness," which forms nouns of state.]
Till next time,

Well done on your acrostic. I’ve never heard of MAZEdness. Clever.
I think this is brilliant and pics fab 🙏🙏🙏
This is a fantastic acrostic. 🙂 I love acrostics, as you have probably noticed. ‘Mazedness’ is a word that is quite representative of the days we are living today, I believe.
This acrostic poem is a fun take on the prompt. I like how it encourages enjoying life despite uncertainties. It made me think about those zany moments that bring a sense of wonder. How do you come up with such creative ideas for acrostics? The note about "mazedness" is interesting. It adds a new word to my vocabulary. Do you think using less common words like this makes the poem more engaging or harder to understand?
"Enjoy your life, there's no guarantee!" A great reminder to seize the day. Life can definitely make us feel mazed and dazed, but it's up to us what we make of each day :)
