Resources

Links:  Poetry Formats  and Other Sites

Here are some  examples showing how the "acrostic"  and "important" poetry formats have been used by other students: 

Acrostic Poems

This is one of the easiest poetry formats to use with young writers.  It's also versatile enough for older or  more experienced students.

  Fall Poems

The Important Book Format

This is another format that is effective for  writers in all grades.  Success comes with just a little practice.
