I had the kids write acrostic poems (poems that the first letter of each line spells a word going downward) It was to be about them. Most were silly or dumb. I got three good ones. Two I don't have a copy of any more, but they spelled out "Football" and the other was "I Need A Job"
They were very clever.
This one was written by a boy with some mental health issues, but he is very brilliant.
Unconcerned
Not making sense
Overtly learned
Ridiculous?--No end
Trapped in obsessions, as a trance
High on my insanity
Overseer to amend
Definitive incompetency
Of my own style
....Xenophile?
His word: Unorthodox!
To which, there was no doubt!

That is pretty good. It is amazing to see the inside of someone's mind through poetry.
