hey everybody I'm here today to show you how to write an acrostic poem in this video I will be outlining the step-by-step process for writing an acrostic poem and I will also be demonstrating myself writing one for you let's get right to it when you are writing an acrostic poem you are going to write a word or multiple words from top to bottom each each letter of the word or words will go on its own line for the acrostic poem that I will be writing in this video I'm going to be using the word summer so you're going to start off by writing the word from top to bottom word or words you're going to write the word or words from top to bottom and each letter is going to get its own line so we are going to spell out summer okay s u M m e R and I like to start with a capital letter on each line so each of the letters of the word or words are going to be capitalized okay now for each of these lines you are going to write either a word or a short phrase that describes what you are writing about I am writing about summer so for each of these lines I will be writing a word or a short phrase that describes the summer alright so let's start with the S we're gonna go with sun shining brightly so as you can see sun shining brightly it starts with the S and then I wrote a phrase that describes summer or that is related to summer the next one is au so we need to think of a word or phrase that starts with u under the heat okay M we are going to do let's let's go with many barbeque dinners because everyone loves to barbecue in the summer the next M we are going to go with makes people happy because we know that everybody or almost everybody is happy in the summer for the e we are going to go with everyone loves the Sun because really who doesn't love the Sun everyone loves the Sun and for the last line which starts with R we are going to go with running outside because in the summer if you want to stay fit you can go for a run outside and that's basically it that is literally how to write an acrostic poem you have to take the word or words and you are going to write them vertically with each letter getting its own line and then you are going to pick a word or phrase that starts with each letter and you're going to write down that word or phrase on each line and just a quick tip you should capitalize each of those first letters in the acrostic poem just like that and that's basically it in this video I have shown you how to write an acrostic poem and I've also demonstrated myself writing an acrostic poem about summer and that's all I have for you today thanks for watching
