April is National Poetry Month!
On Yellow Pencils, that means all poetry, all month.
Not a poet, you say? Not a problem. Even if we write fiction or nonfiction, writing a poem lets us play with words. And we all love words, right?
Let's start with nonsense. Being silly is always a good way to get into poetry. I'm in the mood to write an acrostic poem using the word "nonsense." How about you?
Natty was batty
Oony was loony
Nilly was silly
Sadie was a-fraidy
Elso was nutso
Nad was mad
Soupy was loopy and
Elaine was insane.
Your nonsense acrostic can rhyme or not. The only "rule" is, Have fun. Welcome to National Poetry Month!
