An ABC poem is a poem where the first letter of each line is the subsequent letter of the alphabet. The first line starts with A. The second line begins with B, and this continues for the rest of the poem. Each line focuses on building upon the central topic of the poem, creating a specific mood, feeling, or picture in the reader’s mind. There are various types of ABC (or Alphabet) poems. Some use all 26 letters, while others only use 5-6 of the letters in alphabetical order. Try It Yourself! Templates for writing ABC Poems (PDF):

Again I'm sitting with pen in my hand and paper in front of me,
Breaking all the doors, trying to set my feelings free.

Camp in a field with Little Red Riding Hood.
Dazzling stars would fire at the Big Bad Wolf.
As the fireworks
Burst around in
Circles and all the

A cardinal flew past me today
Because he wanted my attention.
Cardinals mean someone in heaven is thinking of you.
Did you know that? And did you also know that
Accepts you as you are
Believes in you
Calls you just to say Hi
Doesn't give up on you.

But he hates me.
Crazy 'bout him.
Don't tell my secret!
