**Acrostic Poems** **By Susannah, Rosie and Lily**

**What is an Acrostic Poem?** An acrostic poem is a form of writing where the first letter, syllable or word of each line, spells out a word or a message. An acrostic poem uses the letters in a topic word to begin each line. All lines of the poem should relate to, or describe the poem.

To write an acrostic poem, you first have to decide on a topic word. E.g. **W** **I** **K** **I** Then you can either brainstorm some words to use, or just jump straight into it! Try and use creative words, that make some sort of sense. But remember, it will take time!

Your finished product might look somewhat like this...
