What is Poetry?
Poetry is a river, poem after poem moves along in the exciting crests and falls of the the river waves. None is timeless; each arrives in an historical context, almost everything, in the end, passes.
-Mary Oliver (A Poetry Handbook)

Acrostic
The word acrostic is formed from the Greek word acros (outermost) and stichos (line of poetry). The acrostic is a poem where the first letter of each line forms a word when you read them looking downward.

My Acrostic #1
RIVER
Rising when it rains
Inspiring people to swim in its coolness
Variety of fish to fish on
Enchanted in your imagination
Running up the banks to roll back down
My Acrostic #2
STARS
Shimmering in the darkness
Together in the galaxy
Along the sky in a picture
Re-appearing every night
Scattered all over the place
Haiku
n COMPOSING A TRADITIONAL JAPANESE HAIKU POEMn The 300-year old Haiku Poem has its own distinct
discipline:- Each complete poem has only three lines, totalling 17 syllables.
- the first line must be five syllables- the second line must be seven syllables- the third line must be five syllables
When these rigid conditions are met, the result can be a very satisfying word picture .
n Birds take wing on high, gliding over angry wavesback to their safe nests.

My Limerick #1
My mum is very mean
she is also very keen
she goes off to bed
with a dream in her head
thinking she is clean

There was a man named Kev who liked to give
so he was very appreciative
he gave a guy a flute
that made a loud hoot
Kev got money that made him live

Ive bitten myself underneath.’
Collected Limerick #2

Who went to a fancy-dress ball
he went just for fun
dressed up as a bun
and a dog ate him up in the hall
