Poetry Prompt 18 – Admiration Acrostic

Today’s prompt is to write a poem in which the first letter of every line spells out the name of somebody you admire and the poem explains why you admire them.

You might like to consider:

• Should you just use a first name or a last name too to give you more lines?
• Should you choose someone you know or somebody famous?
• What do you most admire about the person you’ve chosen? It might help to brainstorm possible reasons before trying to fit them into your poem.
• Should your poem have a particular rhyme or rhythm to it?
• If you are feeling very ambitious you could also spell out something of your choice with the last letter of each line too.
