Iridescence of Lights
In celebration of the holidays, write an acrostic poem about your holiday traditions. An acrostic poem uses the letter of a topic word or words to create a poem.
1. Write the word “Light” (or another holiday-related word) vertically down the length of a page.
2. For each letter, write a related word or idea beginning with that letter extending out horizontally.
3. Take a few moments to refine your poem. Try adding or changing some words to add interest, rhythm or rhyme to your poem.
4. Select your favorite word or image to be the title of your poem.
Below is my effort entitled (predictably) LIGHTS!
Set your timer for 7 minutes
Don’t think about it too much; just do it!
