Hi All I am posting this here for Cheryl Stewart she posted it on the original Waltz Wave thread and I didn't want anyone to miss it!
Posted by cskpoetmuse on Wednesday, May 06, 2009 - 07:41 pm:
This was my first time doing this form. I enjoyed this, but I think it can be improved a lot more by more skilful use of words.This is sort of plain ,but does fit the form.

Since I screwed this up, I will call this:
Blank Ya-Do Verse. . .
December lies
November gone
Fourth of July
All summer long
Without warning seasons change.
Ancient August
Seductive June
Jealous April
September's fall
Choices of Saint Valentine.
Through winter's cold
Another year
Chances that may
Whisper spring thaw
Halloween fearing lion's roar.
-Two Litre
Something else for everyone to try.

This is my first word acrostic. A very simple one to start with. Doing a long one will be more of a feat to accomplish. (which I will try to do when not feeling so overloaded with things to write.)

I have always loved Wordsworth and now I appreciate him even more after trying this form.
And here is my first two Wordsworth sestets
I find it hard to do these well, but enjoyable and romantic as I wanted it to be.

First word of each line the beginning lyrics to Greenday's "The Time of Your Life".

So I decided to write a Ya Du this morning and remembered why it's not called an "I Du" cause it's complicated LOL and that's why I don't Du them very often LOL! So hwere we go I used the final line with 9 syllables throughout.
