Downton Abbey seems to be taking the world by storm and I am a bit late to the party but I love it! Blogging buddy Jama wrote a great post about Downton Abbey baking. Check it out here.
Here’s a double acrostic poem about it, written in five minutes with a child on my lap on my phone. That’s my excuse for you lot always writing better ones than me 
Do have a go at an acrostic. Pick a subject you love, it really helps to keep the words coming.
Distinguished and prouD
Of nobles no hobO
Waist coats, the odd widoW
Never a dull moment oN
Tele with such talenT
Orderly, gossipy toO
Never caught iN
A brilliant sagA
Best actress gliB
By far it must B
Everyone’s favE
You must see it todaY

That’s a nice acrostic, Catherine.
Thanks, Freeda. I’ve never tried a double one before.
Wow, a double acrostic! Pretty cool
. Thanks for the link love, Catherine. So glad you like the series!!
You’re welcome, Jama. I can’t wait for my next Downton session
Completely addicted…
Love your acrostic.
Cool! Another Downton groupie! Let’s make a FB group lol.
I’m a big Downton fan. The attention to detail on the costumes and the set is amazing. A double acrostic, with a kid on your lap no less, is impressive!
I read in Jama’s post they spend a fortune making it as realistic as possible. You’d think I’d write more when they’re in school. Hmm.. What did I do? I wrote a first draft of a pb and read to playgroup for literacy week.
I am addicted to Downton Abbey late to the game as well. Thanks for introducing these new-to-me poetry forms. So fun to read your poems!
Great, Mia! I still need to dig out a painting from Hannah’s last session and send it to you.
I can’t believe you did that with a child in your lap! You are amazing, I watched the first season, but couldn’t watch after she lost the baby. Felt a little too close to home perhaps as I was holding my own new babes at the time.
Just a bit crazy
Hey spoiler alert!
Love your acrostic, Catherine! I’m BRAND NEW to Downton Abbey, too, It only took a couple of episodes to find myself hooked on every detail. It’s such a thrill to brew a cup, butter a scone, and claim the telly for this delicious show!
Ooh I wish I could bake scones like my mum. Lovely!
I LOOOVE Downton Abbey. LOVE it. The dowager is my absolute fave. She reminds me of my great-grandmother. Haha. I wish the seasons were longer!
Big Downton fan here too.
I’m and avid follower. Love it! Fun poem.
What’s Downtown Abbey?…
PS I love how you organized your poem to have the letters at the end! That must have been hard!
Is the YouTube video still there? Downton is a British tv programme set a long time ago about rich landowners and their servants.
Wow…a very creative poem…Cheers~
Loved the poem Catherine – miles better than the drivel that Downton serves up!
A double acrostic! I had never heard of that. Nice job!
