The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.

Eleanor Roosevelt

ENGLISH
Autumn Acrostic 🍂🍁

Let's welcome the arrival of autumn with a creative writing exercise!

Today's Challenge:

Write an acrostic poem about autumn, using each letter of the word to start a new line. Here's an example to get you started:

Autumn leaves fall gently to the ground,Under a sky of orange, red, and brown.The air is crisp, the wind whispers by,Urging us to say goodbye to summer's sky.Mellow fruits ripen, ready to be tasted,Nature's beauty, never to be wasted.

Bonus Challenges:

  • Use descriptive language and sensory details to paint a vivid picture of autumn.

  • Incorporate metaphors and similes to add depth and creativity to your poem.

  • Share your autumn acrostic on social media using #EdExpress!
