It has been fun to see the poems that some of our readers and their children have been writing over the past two weeks as part of the
Parent and Child Poetry Challenge! Here are some of the poems they have shared with us, and a few of our own. First up, acrostics!

This one is by Rebecca and her daughters, inspired by a scene in THE TWO TOWERS by J. R. R. Tolkien:
OLIPHAUNT
by Julia McMullen, Samantha Coté, and Rebecca J. Gomez
Oh, how I've longed to gaze upon these grey-skinned
Legendary beasts, earth-shattering steps
In time with the ominous drum. I crouch to steal a glimpse, they
Plod along, and, but for our quest, this scene would hold me
Here. But Frodo urgest me
Away from this view, from the stew left
Uneaten in the pot.
No one back home will believe this
Treasured tale from a hobbit's adventure.
Two acrostics by Elizabeth E.:
Sweet relief from
Life's
Ever going
Existence and
People
Some time after winter
People smiling with glee
Rays reach from the sun
It warms up the tree
Nature leaps from the soil
Green covers all we see
We have a few diamantes to share too!
