Now we are investigating ACROSTIC poems.
ACROSTIC poems are poems that use the letters of the topic word to start each line.
All the lines of the poem have to describe the topic.
Like a Diamante poem, an ACROSTIC poem does not rhyme.
As we have been taking part in the Monster Project, we all chose 'monster' as the topic of our acrostic poems.
Here's Keely's poem-
Monster teeth that can break a bone
On the move, it's very fast
Never stop eating people
Scares the people all the time
Terrifyingly large claws
Every one is frightened by him
Roars so loud it hurts your ears.
and here's Tom's poem-
Monstrous claws
Out and about all night
No-one knows him
Scares everyone he sees
Terrifying teeth as sharp as swords
Everyone hides from him
Runs like a cheetah.
