Kids' Poetry

The last couple of weeks we have been working on acrostic poems. To create these poems, you write a word vertically and choose a word or phrase that begins with each letter to describe the word.

Here are some of their samples:

SANTA
by Grant

Snow is
Always falling in the
North Pole.
The reindeer fly at midnight,
And Santa gives presents to good girls and boys.

HOT COCOA
by Joseph

Hot cocoa is good.
Oh, it's delicious!
Tastes good, it does.

Cocoa!
Oh, so good with marshmallows!
Cocoa!
Oh, so good when you're cold!
Always makes you warm.

We also worked on ego poems, which are the same as acrostic poems, but you use your name, and write the poem about yourself.

JOSEPH
by Joseph

Jump start speedster, good at balancing
On
Soccer balls,
Equals
Pretty good
Hard working player.

GRANT
by Grant

Good soccer player.
Right hand works hard
And
Never gives up while climbing
Trees.

HANS
by Mom

Hungry boy
Always
Needs
Something to eat.
