Lol... here goes

Woodstock was...
Open hearts and open skies
Open love an open eyes
Dreamers, poets, peace and love
Strangers, friends and God above
Tie-dye, beads and crazy cars
Outstanding shows by CCR
Children of the sun and moon
Knee-high mud, a Hendrix tune

Music from a famous band sparks
Unity throughout the land
Saving souls and freeing minds
It opens hearts that once were blind
Can you read the signs?

Fellowship and freedom ring once
Everybody starts to sing and'
Starving souls are satisfied
Ten-thousand tears that now have dried
I can almost hear the sounds of
Visions past that now are found
A sun that slowly sets on me
Living, loving, creating, at Woodstock.

Hehe

That was perfect! Excellent flow, many acrostics sound forced but this sounds like it was just written then, lo and behold, it happened to form an acrostic too. Only issue was the last two lines didn't rhyme, but I'm willing to look past it ;)

I just had to find the right way to end it :) It was part of a project we did for school. We had to make a poetry book, and I had to include Woodstock in it lol
