Writing Prompt: Character Acrostic
Some of you might have done this type of poetry in school.What you do is:
2. List some words that remind you of that character.
3. Write the words as a poem BUT all the words have to begin with a letter in the character's name.
It's easier to just show you rather than try to explain it. Here is an example for Harry Potter.
H ero
A mazing
R
R
Y oung
Actually it's not as easy as it looks (not for me anyway)! I can't think of what to write for the rest of Harry's name, so I'm turning it over to you. Write your character acrostic for YOUR favorite character in the Comments.
Ummm, I have NO idea who my favorite character is. I'll just do Jasmine from Deltora.
Jammed unhappy in the palace
Attracts adventure
Silence forests are her home
Makes friends of Kree and Filli
Is the Queen in the end
Nest is home in tree
E
Yeah, I couldn't do E. Most common letter in the language and I can't think of word word starting with it for my acrostic. Can you?
