Steven Schnur has a series of acrostic poems for each of the seasons. I use a couple of poems from Winter: An Alphabet Acrostic
during our study of snowflakes. Since poems are organized alphabetically by title these books are also a wonderful addition to an ABC study or book collection. Other books in the series include Spring
, Summer
and Autumn
. Happy Poetry Friday!
Flakes
Light they drift
Upward
Rise like smoke before coming to
Rest in the
Yard.
Just as the
Evening lights come on,
White flakes begin falling
Earthward, glittering
Like diamonds.
