An acrostic poem, sometimes called a name poem, uses a word for its subject. Then each line of the poem begins with a letter from the subject word. This type of poetry doesn't have to rhyme.
Here's an example using the word school:
Shabonee is where I go
Computers, spirals, books, and more
Homework every night
On math, science, reading, and social studies
Our class does lots of fun projects
Learning never stops
So the solar system could be
So many stars
Or are they planets
Life and plants
And perhaps not
Reaching these would take time!
Saturn spins
Yes SPINS!
Spinning round fast yet slow
The solar system amazes
Every question unanswered
My dream; to visit one day
Hope this helps

Acrostic poems are created by writing a key word down the paper on the left hand side. Then, the lines of poetry are produced using those initials as the first letters of each line of poetry.
Example:
R ound and plump
I n orbit around a gas giant
N ever ending circles
G rand bands of grit, dust and rock
S aturn's icon forever
Also here is one for Mercury
Mercury is the planet closest to the sun.
Eccentric Orbit
Reaches temperatures over 800 degrees fareinheit
Covered with craters
Unfortunatly you can hardly see it from the ground
Rotates slowly cause it is close to the sun
Years on this planet is short

An acrostic poem uses the letters of a word (or words) to begin the lines of the poem. For example, if you choose Jupiter (the biggest planet in our solar system), the first line of the poem would begin with J, the second line would begin with U, the third line would begin with P, and so on.
Also, the idea of the poem should connect to the word chosen for the acrostic. So the poem in the above example should tell something about Jupiter or the poet's feelings about planets or some other thought that relates to Jupiter.

Ask Carmen about it. Express to her your gratefulness that she is so wonderful to her younger sister. One night, ask Carmen if you can take her place and do homework with Joy. Tell Joy that you want to take her out for a special dinner, just you and her, and maybe an activity afterwards like bowling or something, but that you need to get the homework done first. Sit down with her and use every ounce of patience in your body to calmly assist her in a loving way. Threatening, screaming and yelling will only make her want to do things less. You have to create a positive rewarding environment for all your children. Show them all that homework can be a stress free thing and that positive things happen when you get it out of the way early. At first, having rewards for the completion of homework is good, but eventually the rewards have to become positive emotional reinforcement as opposed to tangible things. Having boundaries and schedules that your children comply to will help move things along smoothly and create a happy home. Good luck!

An acrostic poem is using the first letters of the planet's names or person's name or things name.
For example
John-
Joyous, jubiliant
over the moon
happy, hopeful
never far away from my heart.
So you take the planets' names(remember Pluto is no longer a planet) and just use adjectives and verbs and adverbs beginning with those same letters, so it makes sense.

Your main problem will be weither to include Pluto or not as it is now no longer regarded as a planet! :)
But that does mean there is one less Letter to include!
