Write an Instant
Spine
Poem |
|
Directions: |
If you enjoy doing acrostic poetry, then why not try writing a spine poem? Here’s how it works: take the title of your favorite book (or movie or song) that is 5 words long and use each of the words as the beginning of a line in your instant poem. For example, use the instant poetry form below to make a spine poem using the book title, Where the Wild Things Are. The sample is for the book The Old Man and the Sea. |

The mermaid lived in an old boat under the waves, where no man swam, only dolphins and giant squid. She often watched the waves roll and sang haunting sea chanties all night long. |
