> 3.8 Poetry
One type of poem is an acrostic poem. The first letter of each line of the poem spells a
word. That word is the theme of the poem. If you want to write a poem about clothes,
you
could write the word CLOTHES down the page, like the poems below. Then think
of words that could be in the poem that begin with those letters. You don't have to use
all the words.
