A Name of Fame

This week, we will experiment with poetry as you try writing your first acrostic poem. An acrostic poem takes a word, spelled out the long way, and then has a word or two coming from each letter of the original word (see below). Use your full name and write an acrostic poem. Then, pick another word (at least 5 letters long) and make an acrostic poem from that word as well. Try not to have more than 2 words coming from each letter. Don't worry about the 100 word rule this week. See my example:

M agically
I ntuitive
S miling on
S aturdays

M agnificent
I ntelligent
L oving
L ife in
E very
R ealm



another one word example:

P rickly
O ld
R ough
C reature
U nder
P iney
I ncredible
N eedles
E ek!

Well anonymous,

I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion. If you open up your head a little bit, I think you will find that poetry can be really neat! Also, most songs from rap, to pop, to country and inbetween started as a poem!
