1. Choose Your Word: Select a word that you want to use as the basis for your poem.
2. Vertical Structure: Write your word vertically, one letter per line.
3. Write Lines: For each letter of your word, write a line that starts with that letter and relates to the chosen word or a theme you've chosen. The lines should create a meaningful poem.
Example:
Let's use the word "SUNFLOWER":
Standing tall, a beacon bright,
Upon the field, a golden light.
Nurtured by the sun's warm rays,
Flowers bloom in endless maze.
Life's beauty, in its golden hue,
Offering joy, for me and you.
Watching silently, the seasons turn,
Each day anew, a lesson learned.
Reaching for the sky, so high,
A symbol of hope, that never dies.
