Writing and journalling about music - acrostic poem

Still being inspired by the name of your favourite band or musician or even composer, why not write an acrostic poem to accompany a photo of them?

Don't worry if you've never written a poem before: an acrostic poem DOES NOT have to rhyme :) It's simple - you take the word and use each letter as the first letter of a line of a poem.

So Green Day would come out:

G ...
R ...
E ...
E ...
N ...
D ...
A ...
Y ...

The obvious subject for your acrostic would be music or why you like this person/band.

Good Riddance they sing
Remembering the "Time of Your Life"
Even I can relate to that
Especially when September Ends
Normally my favourite month
Dreaming I hear them singing it
At the front of the concert audience
Yelling in delight
