Acrostic Poetry
Acrostic PoetryAn acrostic poem
Can be about anything,
Really.
Of course, some people like to
Start each line as a new sentence,
Though
I prefer weaving meaningful words together into a
Creation that is more freeform.
Task # 2
Create your own Acrostic Poem
Task # 3Extension Task
Write an acrostic poem sharing your views about a global issue that concerns
you.Eg……
Global Issue: TerrorismThese tragedies are occurring too often in today's
society.
Everyone is affected, be it directly or indirectly.
Reasons? Could they tell us any that would forgive their sins?
Resentment and remorse they do not feel for these horrible
Organised and planned attacks on the
Respectable, innocent people who are unknowing.
Irreplaceable lives lost in a an instance because of these
Selfish, gutless terrorist acts of
Murder.
