We're getting down to the wire for submissions to the annual Poetry Anthology.  Submissions are due March 30th, so there is about a week and a half to get your links posted to the thread in the Anthology forum of the Writer's Circle.  I'm really looking forward to reading the different interpretations of "Diversity".  

I thought it would be fun to do another exercise using the Diversity theme.  This would be a great jumping off point for poems for the anthology *hint hint*  We can create a poem together, and then I'd love to see some unique creations as part of the antho.  Let's explore the words behind DEI by creating an acrostic poem together.  An acrostic poem spells out a word vertically from the first letters of the sentences it contains.  I'll get us started with "Diversity".  If there's enough participation, we can then explore "Equity" and "Inclusion".  Choose a letter in "diversity" and then post one sentence starting with that letter in the comments. 

Differences to be celebrated.

I had an alternate for I but it was posted too soon, so I'll jump in again:
