[LM_NET] TARGET: Acrostic Poetry for children

[Naomi Shadis <naomis@HUTCH.K12.MN.US>]

Dear colleagues:
A teacher in my school is looking for examples of acrostic poetry to 
share as he asks his students to write acrostic poems.  To my surprise 
(I know that acrostic poetry is taught at many levels to all students), 
I was unable to readily come up with exemplary examples.  Please share 
what you have/use.  I'll post a hit.

Here is what I've found thus far from searching my local library OPACs 
and Amazon:
Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn by Steven Schnur.  I haven't viewed 
these books, but it looks like they are alphabetic rather than a true 
acrostic
Silver seeds: A book of nature poems by Paul Paolilli and Dan Brewer

In appreciation for your collegial assistance,
Naomi Shadis
