April 7 - Acrostic Poems

Let's start with an easy style of poem... the Acrostic!

Acrostic poems are simple to write. Check out the KidZone website for information on how to write an Acrostic poem. Below is an example of an acrostic poem by Kaitlyn Guenther. 

PUMPKINby Kaitlyn Guenther

	P	iles of candy
	U	nder the bed
	M	ake for a delicious snack
	P	eople
	K	now
	I	t’s been Halloween because
	N	o one is without candy

It may help to make a list or mind web of your ideas on a topic before writing your poem.  You may want to check out the online Acrostic Poem Creator. 

I am taking up the Poem a Day challenge too. Here is my attempt at a quick Acrostic poem.

The Dog Park

by Kelly Flasha

Dogs everywhere

Outside in the sun

Go, run, have fun!

Prance through the trees

And feel the cool breeze

Romp through the leaves

Keep me here forever please!

Happy Writing,

Mrs. F.
