I'm going to have to look the word up but tilliostich comes to mind. Anyway, I’ve never written one and I'm thinking how to put one of these together. I'm considering putting together a word bank of desert words that end in each letter to see what I come up with.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01825251724115541708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114341568105527452.post-25891932840611262762015-05-28T16:53:29.442-07:002015-05-28T16:53:29.442-07:00Thanks for the useful tip/observation,Rosi.

I love the flow, the quick pace, the rhyme, the dialogue. Great fun, like a riddle. I also like that the acrostic word isn't snake. If you choose words that don't name the animals, it gives you more freedom, includes another character, etc. Once again, I can see a collection of animals in Acrostic form. I think kids would love these. I can here them reading them aloud. I think they'd memorize some too. Write other poems to give more you want to share, but don't discard the acrostic. It might be kids bedside table favorite. Linda A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16517546647672781332noreply@blogger.com
