Post #7: Acrostic Poem

Choose a character, a setting or any symbolic word from the book and create a acrostic poem!!!

An acrostic poem is a cryptographic form in which the initial letter of each line spells out a word, often the subject of the poem or the name of the person to whom the poem is dedicated.

Example:
A adventurous
L loving
E extraordinary
X extremely focused
I independent
S sassy

--the words used to describe your main word must relate to your choosen word!!
DO NOT USE YOUR OWN NAME..ONLY SUBJECTS FROM THE BOOK!!!
