I need help with my homework this week
I have to write (or should I say my daughter has to), 
an a "
acrostic" poem
using the word
machine
And it has to have something to do about machines.


Here is an example of an acrostic poem. 

Peace
By Paul McCann

Poetry's ploughshares have tried to dug the dirt away ,
opening a road where blood has stained the clay .

Earthened shells buried deep in different hollow holes
guests or war remain at peace .
Heal those troubled souls .

As we have forgiven those may they forgive us .
Our hatred is uprooted .
Peace lies in the dust .

Captive not in chains or imprisoned by our guilt .
Peace is a river that has washed the blood that was spilt .

Etched into forever our souls will someday be ,
in the place God reserves for you my friend and me


I Could realy use some help here PLEASE.

Ohhh and if you would like to know what else we have to do this week, is we have to write down the different ways people deal with frustration.

And this is grade 4 homework, 9-10 yo)

Moving around in circles they watch the digger play
Abrasive and without give, it’s tearing up the clay
Carrying bits of rubble the area’s getting cleared
Humming and rattling the truck changes to low gear
In comes the Mixer, the drivers name is Bert
New ground is laid the kids all cheer, they know what’s coming next
Even the workmen smile at the new playground complex

Made by men
After a need
Can do many things
Horsepower in them have replaced the mighty steed
In them we trust to make daily life easy
No one today can live without them
Everyone knows machines are not just a want but a need

Machine

Moving mountains or just a pile of dirt.

After an earthquake, flood or tornado

Calls for relief and assistance go out

Help and caring hearts and hands are on the way.

In times of disaster, need or crisis

Nothing can stop the power of a well oiled human spirit

Each heart a living breathing force of nature to be reckoned with.
