Not Your Little Sister's Acrostic
Taught by Sarah Dawn Johnson
Ages 11-14, 15 students
Wednesday, July 28, 2010: 6-7:30pm (one session)
We all wrote acrostic poems on Mother's Day cards in the first grade: Marvelous Original Magnificent. Most of us left our
acrostics in the first grade with the giant crayons and the class guinea pig. Sestinas and sonnets don't have to replace our
beloved vertical verses, acrostics can be grown up too! We will embrace our inner 1st grade poet, and see what the time tested
form can bring us now (if it worked for Edgar Allen Poe and Lewis Carroll it can work for us!).
Sarah Dawn has a deep and abiding love for acrostic poems, not only for their delightful outcomes, but also
their inevitable ability to cure writer's block. She works a grownup job by day and volunteers with 826, writes, does yoga and
cooks by night. Soon she will be embarking to achieve her dream of being a High School teacher.
