write an acrostic poem using the letters from elderberry. here’s mine:
Enchanting
Lore filled history
Diuretic and diaphoretic
Encourages normal bowel movements
Rich in Vitamins A and C
Best taken as a flu preventative
Enjoyed as a wine and syrup
Remedy for
Rheumatism
Yummy!
share your poems with us and post what you’ve written in the comments!
ok, don't laugh! the kids and i wrote this one. i asked what they remembered from the All About Elderberry section and they offered! I obviously tinkered with their choices to make them fit…
Elder protects
Look! The King of Fairies!
Dryad guarding
Evil spirits beware!
Requires permission
Becomes flutes and furniture
Every illness cured
Refrain from burning her wood
Remember to take each day
Young and old kept healthy
