Skribble's Acrostic Contest Winners

 

What is an acrostic? 

 A poem in which certain letters, usually the first in each line, form a name, motto, or message when read in sequence.

How to Write an Acrostic Poem Tips

  1. Choose a subject.
  2. Brainstorm for material that relates to the subject.
  3. Write the title vertically on the page, one letter per line.
  4. Make sure each line starts with the corresponding letter.
  5. Every line must relate back to the subject.
