We have been enjoying Poetry Tea Time each week. It is indeed a bright spot on our Tuesdays and we are loving having it as part of our weekly routine. We pull out the tablecloth, light a candle, spread out the poetry books and scrounge up whatever treats we can, just to make it special.
One thing I am discovering is the need to mix things up. Unfortunately, my current repertoire of poetry leaves much to be desired. So for now, I am relying on our local library. And I have discovered that not all poetry books are created equal. Some are not very good LAME. I haven’t had much success finding fall poetry books with the exception of Johnny Appleseed by Reeve Lindbergh (affiliate link). I know quality fall poetry books are out there though!
With fall being in full swing, I wanted to “spice” things up a bit, so I decided we would take some time during Poetry Tea Time to write our own poetry. Because I’m having so much fun creating stuff on Canva, I made a template for an AUTUMN acrostic poem. Obviously, you don’t need a printable to do an acrostic poem, but I had fun adding images and making it look pretty.
Here’s the autumn acrostic poem printable: AUTUMN (1)
Here’s the poem my daughter wrote. She’s “word smart” and whipped this up in no time.
