Acrostic Poems

Hello All!

One genre of writing/reading that I really enjoy is poetry. I would like to challenge you to write a poem using your name, but with a twist! I would like you to write a poem about your favorite holiday (do not specifically state what the holiday is!) using the letters of your name. Hopefully, by the end of the poem, the readers will be able to figure out what your favorite holiday is...good luck!

My favorite holiday
Really puts me into the holiday
Spirit
We begin by
Having delicious food spread
Everywhere on the table: turkey, cranberries, stuffing
Leaving room for dessert, while
Adding inches to our waists
Never leaving unsatisfied

Can you guess my favorite holiday?

No more wearing shorts
Icy breath
Could get frostbite
Oh its so cold
Look at all the presents under the sparkling tree
Eating more smores

Great poems everyone!!! Here's mine!

Many people thankful for freedom in the U.S.
Riding on a float in the parade and throwing candy
Scrumptious brats grilled in the backyard
.
Viewing an awesome fireworks show on a cool night
.

Abbie's Holiday Poem:

All the ornaments and lights are on the tree,

But I don’t want it to snow!

Brothers, Eli and Caleb, open presents with me.

I want the High School Musical 3 movie!

Everyone has a stocking full of books and candy.

Nia's Holiday Poem:

Now Santa goes to every house at night.
I leave cookies and milk for Santa.
A snowy day outside.
