Examples The Rose By Donna Brock The red blossom bends And drips its dew to the ground. Like a tear it falls A Rainbow By Donna Brock Curving up, then down, Meeting blue sky and green earth Melding sun and rain.

  9. Acrostic From the Greek words acros (outermost) and stichos (line of poetry).

  10. How to create your own Acrostic - Write the first name of someone you admire. Think about how to describe that person and what they mean to you. One scratch paper, write out your ideas. Proofread. Revise. Using word processing program, type the letter that will form your acrostic (the person’s name). We will change the color of the font to make your first letters a different color than the rest of your poem. Capitalize them and make them bold. Align the poem. Find or draw a picture of the person you described to illustrate you acrostic.
