Acrostic Fun!

After playing with the iPad apps in the library I decided to go on a hunt to find other web based fun programs a budding poet could use to hone their craft.  I stumbled upon the website readwritethink.org and one of their many apps called ACROSTIC which I thought would be quite appropriate for kids to start learning and creating poetry early.

The program simple guides a writer in writing an acrostic poem by asking for a subject and some key words then prompts you to write it yourself with a nice easy layout.  Each line of the poem starts with each letter of your subject/title.  Here's a really easy example I did to check out how it works.
