Acrostic Poetry Resources – The GiggleIT Project
Acrostic poems are among the easiest for young writers since they require only simple phrases and no rhyming.
The first letter of each line spells out a theme word or phrase vertically in an acrostic poem.
The “Poetry Pet Parade” Spotlight Project in “Animal Antics” theme is a great place for students to practice acrostic poetry. Younger students may write acrostic poems instead haiku for “Through My Window: The Colors of My World” theme.

Acrostic example, by Patricia Carmichael
- Australia the beautiful
- Under the golden sun
- Stars of crystal
- Trees of green
- Roaring surf
- A land of promise
- Lying safe
- In our arms
- And ancient dreams.
