What is an acrostic poem?

    An acrostic poem is a type of poetry where the first, last or other letters in a line spell out a particular word or phrase. 

    The most common and simple form of an acrostic poem is where the first letters of each line spell out the word or phrase. 

Example – An acrostic poem using the beginning of lines

    A less common and slightly more difficult type of an acrostic poem is where the last letter of each line spells out the word or phrase. 

Example - An acrostic poem using the end of lines

    Finally, the more difficult type is where letters in the middle of the acrostic spell out the word or phrase.

Example - An acrostic poem using the middle of the lines
