Acrostic Poems

Sledding 

by Spencer Bassette (5th grader, 2001)

S peeding down a hill,

L ow on my sled,

E ating the flakes that fly in my mouth,

D igging my gloves in the snow,

D riving myself through the trees,

I n and out in and out,

N ow up a high jump,

G ripping my sled.

After reading the "Sledding" poem, the children tried to write their own acrostic poems. Here are a few examples of their work:

Fall

by Aviana

Fiery red leaves dance down from the trees!

A magical time of the year.

Light red, yellow, orange, and brown

Love, love, love! I love fall.

March

by Andrew

Mist in March

adventures in day Light.

ranch of Light.

c of time.

honey in the bee hive.

Fire

by Benjamin

Flames ripping trees
In the hole, ripping tree
Rare destroy a whole forest but sometimes does
Erritating* trees until they're gone

{Irritating} 

*Sometimes, the sound of a word works better than the actual spelling of the word.

Spring

by Noelle

Spring is good

Peeking out from hills
Rocks are rough
Ice is gone
Nests are built
Giving shelter.
