  2. Acrostic • Acrostic uses the name of a person, place, thing, idea, or emotion (noun) and defines it by using each letter in the spelling to launch either a phrase or a single word. Use either but stay true to either, do not mix and match. • Ex: (name: Danielle) • D- ivine • A- wesome • N- aughty • I- ntelligent • E- nergetic • L- ovely • L- oner • E- nthusiastic Each of the first litters should not be repeated (like D-Divine) and the first letter should be significantly larger than the others (and fancier) Ex: D - ivine

  3. Alphabet Poems • Similar to acrostics, but instead of defining a word by its spelling, you take one letter in the alphabet, use a word that starts with that letter, then define it by 3 words in alphabetical order • Ex: • K- athy • L- oving • M- essy • N- ice

  4. Word Poetry • Similar to Acrostic, but the focus is on defining a particular word (not necessarily a noun). • Ex: “Cool” • C- alm • O- ozing • O- ver • L- ake

  5. Terse Verses are usually a two word definition for an object – two words that when used together are not only rhyming, but an effective or quirky description. Terse Verse • Ex: “student prank” = expulsion compulsion • Ex: Steam shovel = big dig • Ex: “Fireworks” = pocket rockets • Ex: “Mt. Everest” = Sky high Ballad

  6. Ballad Ballad • A ballad tells a story (similarly to the old west song lyrics that tell of adventure, danger, love, and loss). • 4 stanzas • The 2nd and the 4th lines will rhyme in a scheme similar to • Xxxxxx – ind (A) • Xxxxxx –ake (B) • Xxxxxx –ane (C) • Xxxxxx – ake (B) • The next stanza’s scheme would be D,E,F,E and so on. A great example would be Marty Robbins’ song “El Paso” that tells the tale of a cowboy who fatally falls for a girl who already has an admirer

  7. Cinquain • 5 lines • Line 1: Title \ item • Line 2: Description of your title item • Line 3: What is the “action” of your item? • Line 4: How do you feel about your (item)? • Line 5: what is a synonym (alternate name) for your title object?
