Acrostic poem… What is it?

Page 6: Poetry Revision of: Poetic devices- Alliteration &Personification. Poetic forms- Acrostics and Cinquains Introduction to: Poetic form- Diamante

Acrostic poems are poems in which special letters spell another word. Most often, the special letters come at the beginning of each line, however, they may be placed elsewhere too.

Mothers are specialOpen to buy you giftsTuck you inHugs youExcellent momRinses the dishes

Notice the word ‘Mother’ down the side. This theme is repeated all the way through the poem. If the word down the side was ‘dogs’ the whole poem would be about dogs.

Write an acrostic poem using the word ‘Mother.’

Remember, ‘Mother’ is your topic… make sure this is repeated throughout the whole poem.
