Acrostic Poem:
This is an acrostic poem of my name:
Mystery, mythical penguin
Is a fan of planets and stars
Chemistry is interesting
Her dream is to go to Mars
Eastern Asia, is where she live
Love is what her family gives
Learning, is part of her life
Entertain her, telescope will do
Kaohsiung, her home town, full of beautiful scenery
Animals are wild, but she’s friendly
Oh! Her name is Michelle!
