‘Meowtastic’ & ‘She was a woman changed by his blood ‘: Hero & Villian Acrostic Poems

Students wrote Acrostic Poems, in which certain letters in each line form a word or words. The theme was ‘Heroes,’ both real and imagined, or Supervillains.

Lesson Note: “You don’t need permission to make your art. No one needs an artistic license or a permit to begin making stuff. You just need to begin. Don’t wait for an invitation to join the club for some validation from outside. If you’re doing the verb, you own the noun. So do your verbs. Dance. Sew. Design. Craft. Act. Perform. Cook. Make. Create, create, create.”– Sheryl Garratt, The Creative Life

Believe in me at all times

A time you didn’t believe in me, I was at my lowest!

Times you don’t believe I’m nothing

Mostly, you do and don’t believe in me

All times you want me to do good.

No. Not at all times I’m going to do good.

A whimsical prophet

Long before my time

A man named Mohommad

He healed and blessed many in the

name of Allah, spreading the message

of Islam.
