Question

Write an acrostic poem about quarantine

Answer 1

Here are some steps can help u with your writing

If, as singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen once said, poetry is just the evidence of life — well, we could all use a little bit more of it right now.

Living quarantined lives, a nation cooped up in our homes due to worries about the coronavirus, a little lyricism can go a long way.

That's why the Wexner Center for the Arts at Ohio State University, which is temporarily closed to do current health concerns, is sharing a poetry primer as part of a collaboration with The Dispatch. Whether or not they rhyme, words hold a power to transform, and this is a great time for people of all ages to tap into that power.

Every year in its Pages program, the Wexner Center for the Arts connects students and educators directly with visiting national artists and local artists in residence. A workshop by Columbus writer Scott Woods heavily inspired this step-by-step guide for creating poetry, written by Franklin Heights High School teacher Sarah Patterson.

Step One: Choose a prompt and begin writing a poem about it. You can find lots of prompts for starting a poem online. Here are a few examples to get things started:

• Write a poem about your daily routine.

• Write a poem about something you see out your window.

• Write about a quality that defines your family.

• Write a poem about an issue that matters to you.

• Write a poem about someone you admire.
• Try an acrostic poem, in which the first letter in each line spells out a word.

• Stack up some books and write a poem using the words on the book spines.

Once you have chosen a prompt, set a timer for 10 or 15 minutes and start writing in any style but haiku (that type of poem comes up later).

Step Two: Cross out 25% of what you wrote.

Once your time is up, look at what you have written and cross out a quarter of the words, focusing on details or words that aren't needed to make the poem successful.

Step Three: Give your poem a title.

Let your prompt, your first response to it, or the words you have written guide the title you create.

Step Four: Add a sensory detail that you haven't used yet.

Have you thought about all your senses in your writing? Review your words and add a detail of sound or touch or smell.

Step Five: Write a summary of your poem.

Try summing up the literal meaning of your poem in just a couple of sentences.

Step Six: Turn your poem into a haiku.

A haiku poem always takes the same form: a line of five syllables, followed by a line of seven syllables, finished by another line of five syllables. It's still your idea and thoughts — just another way of expressing them.

That’s all

Answer 2

Questioning the world, will this ever end

Understanding that I have to wash my hands again

Achoo, must get checked cause its not the flu

Rummaging through the fridge.... but there's no more food

And here we go Netflix in my bed

Napping again for the fifteenth time

Toilet papers running out, aint even going to lie

I wonder what the trees look like because Im bored

Not able to see my friends

Everything I see is on the TV
