The acrostic sonnet
A Shakespearean sonnet about October on the James River whose fourteen first letters spell FALLINRICHMOND. Three constraints at once: the acrostic, the ABAB CDCD EFEF GG rhyme scheme and iambic pentameter. A script checks the acrostic, the line count and the rhyme endings; the meter is read out loud.

The prompt every model got
Write a Shakespearean sonnet about October on the James River in Richmond, Virginia.
The form:
- Fourteen lines, in iambic pentameter.
- Rhyme scheme ABAB CDCD EFEF GG.
- An acrostic: the first letters of the fourteen lines, read top to bottom, spell FALLINRICHMOND (F-A-L-L-I-N-R-I-C-H-M-O-N-D).
Put a title on the first line as # Title, then the fourteen lines, with no blank lines between them and no other text before or after.
I will check the acrostic, the line count and the rhymes with a script, and read the meter out loud.
