Poetry Challenge #153-Flying High!
Aviation—flying—has fascinated humans forever. Stories are told about Icarus who flew too close to the sun with homemade wings and melted the wax that held the feathers on.
The Wright Brothers are famous for being first in flight. Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart flew long distances. And Neil Armstrong took a walk on the moon.
Poetry Challenge #153
Flying High!
In honor of National Aviation Day (August 19th) Write an acrostic poem using the name of a famous aviator (Lindbergh, Earhart, Armstrong) or of a flying machine (airplane, rocket, Apollo) or of something to do with aviation (Kitty Hawk, airport).
Write the name down your paper, one letter per line and then use that letter to start each line.
Read over your poem and make it soar!
