An acrostic poem looks at a key word and then asks you to write a line about that word. Each line you start should begin with a letter from that word. An example is:
H - igh on my head
A - lways looking good
T - he best headwear!
This poem is about hats and if you look at the first letter of each line, it spells the word hat. Now test your knowledge on acrostic poems and literature in general.

Story 2: Painting the room
Margaret loved her room. It was painted a pink color. Everything in her room was pink. She had a princess bed with all of her dolls on her bed. She also had many things in her room for a young girl. However, Margaret had just turned ten years old. She wanted to change her room. She wasn’t a young girl anymore. Her room needed to change because she was growing older. Margaret’s mother had said that they could first paint her room. It should be a color for older girls. Margaret chose gray.
Margaret and her mother pushed all of the things in Margaret’s room into the hallway. Margaret was scared to change the paint in her room. It had always been pink and she still loved pink. Yet, she knew she would love the gray color too.
After a few hours, the room was painted. Margaret looked around her room. It looked great. She really didn’t miss the pink color. Margaret’s mother said that they should go shopping. They should buy things for the rest of the room.
