Acrostic Poems

Welcome to Acrostic Poems for Kids which brings you an acrostic poem about all the other poetic devices like simile, alliteration etc

Here is the first of the acrostic poetry, this one dealing with other poetic devices

Paula’s hair looks like rats’ tails
Oh that’s a simile
Esther estimated every elevation.
That’s alliteration, clearly
Ian’s head is a shed.
Call that a metaphor, my dear
All at once, whoosh, went the wind
Love that alliterative onomatopoeia

Dave is occupied in the wash room.
Euphemism, is what’s been penned
Verily I say, O wet pet
Is an odd ode spoke to a soaked sole friend
Could that be assonance just then and can the whole
Epigram, with imagery be acrostic in some way
So that’s all the POETICAL DEVICES There’s nothing more to say
