This is one of  my favourite poetry style.

An acrostic poem is a poem where letters in each line spell out a word or a phrase. Mostly the first letters of each line are used to spell out the message or the word but they can appear any where.

There are different types of acrostic poems.

• Telestich – The last letters of each line spell out a message or a word
• Mesostich – The middle letters of each line spell out a message or a word
• Double Acrostic – The first letters and the last letters of each line spell out a message or a word
• Abecedarian – The acrostic spells the alphabet instead of a word

Hop on to the Poems section for some acrostic poems.
