Acrostic Poetry, Theme, Metaphor, and Simile

Writing Activity

Theme

Metaphor

A Metaphor is a figure of speech that compares two unlike things. Does NOT use "like" or "as."

Examples: Broken heart

Time is a thief

Now that we have the tools to write a splendid acrostic poem, let's write an acrostic poem using the following guidelines:

1) Must have 2 Rhyming lines (Did 2 earlier in class)

2) Must have a theme: Use the topic you wrote your earlier rhymes on.

3) Must use one simile and one metaphor.

4) Must be at least 6 lines long, with a maximum of 10 lines.

5) Must be typed on Microsoft Word (12 pt font, Times, double-spaced) and due by 11:59 p.m tonight. Email them to moore_jordan@roberts.edu

Theme is the central topic of a text. It is the moral of the story.

List the themes in the two acrostic poems that we read.

Simile

Acrostic Poetry

Acrostic Poetry is a form of poetry in which the first letter, syllable, or word of each line, paragraph, or other recurring feature in the text spells out a word or message.

The message or word does not have to be at the beginning of a line; it can be at the end also.

A Simile is a figure of speech that compares two things through a connective word, usually "like" or "as."

Different from Metaphor because a metaphor is comparing two unlike things and saying that the one thing is the other thing.

Examples: Ron is as strong as a lion.

She ran like a cheetah.
