Happy April 2021, everyone!
The first part of this blog is written in the form of an acrostic poem for April.
I have so much other fun news to share with you, too!
First off, let’s talk about what acrostic poems are. An acrostic poem is when a word is spelled vertically, with the first letter capitalized. Short sentences or a single word represent the word to some extent. It does not have to rhyme. I’ll tell you more about why I’m using this idea at the end. For example, let’s take the word April.
A ir that is fresh!
P astel colors!
R ainy days.
I irises
L awns full of green grass.
When you are finished reading this blog post, try this poem idea in the comment section below. Pick a spring word, or any word for that matter, and have fun making your own acrostic poem. I’m excited to see what you come up with.
