As I can hardly wait to see who will be our

New president. Will he/she be
Eligible to lead our country?
With so many problems

People are out of jobs
Ready to find new ones
Especially when the cost of living is so high
Such as gas, food and homes
Is our ecnonomy going to change?
D
o our soldiers get to come home?
Everyone is on edge now
No one knows the answer yet
Time will tell.

Acrostic poetry is when certain letters, usually the first in each line form a word , a message, or a title when read in a sequence. After you read the first letter of each line in this poem, you will get my message. Acrostic poetry is fun to do and it can be a challenge, especially if you decide to place the letters in a different order.
