Alanna from The Flashlight Reader wanted to be involved in FTF, and wanted to get her students involved (which I was so on board with!), so she decided to have them do acrostic poems for Fairy Tale Fortnight, and I have 1 to share with you!
Check it out:
From a window in the tallest tower
Awaiting her long, lost prince--
In a kingdom far away--
Restricted by an evil witch, a
Young princess waits for
True love’s first kiss.
Adventure looming at every corner,
Leading the dashing hero to
Everlasting love and
Stories of happily ever afters.

In a kingdom far away--
Restricted by an evil witch, a
Young princess waits for
True love’s first kiss.

Leading the dashing hero to
Everlasting love and
Stories of happily ever afters.
To add to the awesome, she decided to sponsor a giveaway as well (well, 2 ---> the other one is on Ashley's blog, along with another great acrostic!)

OMG What an awesome poem! I LOVE it. (not an entry)
ReplyDeleteThe poem is wonderful! It perfectly embodies my idea of an excellent fairy tale. I hope whoever wrote this one got an A ;)

awwww, super cute poem and idea!:D
ReplyDeletegoogirl94@gmail.com
Awesome acrostic! That is so cool that Alanna got her students involved. It's also really cool that you have Frances Hodgson Burnett in the prize pack! A Little Princess is quite possibly my favorite book (one of those books that you dream of reading to your future hypothetical children--at least, I do), and also one of my favorite movies! Right up there with LOTR, Tangled, and Star Trek.
