The Daily Challenge is back with an old favorite and two new literary forms. Each day we will choose a word associated with Beauty and the Beast. Your challenge is to write an Acrostic poem, a Cinquain or a Limerick using the day’s word. Don’t stop at one. Write as many as you like. They can be serious, humorous, romantic, or nonsensical.
