An acrostic is a poem in which the first letters of each line spell out a word or phrase.
Usually, the first letter of each line is capitalized. This makes it easier to see the word spelled out vertically down the page.
Frost
Fingers snuggled in colourful gloves,
Roaring steamy breath,
On roof tops icicles glisten,
Silvery dusting covers the ground,
Ten tingling toes.
By Mrs Lyons
WALT: Write your own FROST acrostic poem.
Acrostics are easy to write because they don’t need to rhyme, and you don’t need to worry about the rhythm of the lines. Each line can be as long or as short as you want it to be.
Crunching leaves
Oh wow it looks supreme
On my roof there’s snow
Look the trees are saying hello
Wow it’s all white outside
I love the snow
Naughty children throwing snowballs
Teachers saying it’s nearly the holidays
Everyone is in the snow
Rain falling down
Mrs Lyons has been showing us your fantastic poems during our training course that she is running today. I have read your poem and it is fantastic, it creates an image in my head of being outside on a winters day and playing in the snow.
Keep up the hard work. 🙂
Snowman
Silky snow dancing down,
Nobody silently sleeping,
Others throwing snowballs,
Winter weather is coming,
Mothers making smiles,
Angels playing in the snow,
Naughty children throwing snowballs.
Super use of alliteration and personification! Well done!
Wow! What a fabulous poem!

Snow fight
Snowflakes are all around me
Now is the time to play in the snow
Oh my its snowed all night
Why not have a snow ball fight
Fight all day till the night
Ice will always cool you down
Grit will be there on the ground
Hide now in the town
Today will be the best day now!
I think you have used some fabulous adjectives and I enjoyed reading your poem
Frost
Fun times in winter.
Ride in the cold wintery wind
On the roof Santa is waiting
Snow falls like confetti in the air
Time ticks and snow falls and are feast is ready
I really enjoyed reading your poem and it made me want to rush outside and check if it was snowing so I could make a snowman! You used lots of lovely descriptive language, an excellent poem
A super acrostic poem and a great simile – well done! Mrs Clarkson

Zahir ( Year 4 )
Wind blowing across the snow,
In the sooty sky it will flow,
Nobody has hating,
To turn to wating,
Everyone has its love,
rolling white like a dove
Makes WINTER
This is a fantastic poem – well done!
