Acrostics

smallwolf — Thu, 22 Sep 2022 22:40:08 GMT

An acrostic is a poem in which the first letters of each line spell out a word or phrase. The word or phrase can be a name, a thing, or whatever you like.

Usually, the first letter of each line is capitalized. This makes it easier to see the word spelled out vertically down the page.

Acrostics are easy to write because they don’t need to rhyme, and you don’t need to worry about the rhythm of the lines. Each line can be as long or as short as you want it to be.

For example,

becomes ...

Life

Optimism

Valuable

Everlasting

Just to make it a little more interesting here, I would suggest the word or phrase be something positive - words like BELIEVE, VALUABLE, UNIQUE etc. And while I have used individual words, each line could be phase or sentence.

😺Good one, Wolfie. I'll try a short word:.

Joy

Joyfully awake,

Opening my eyes widely

You are beside me.

Joy is memories

Of you curling beside me.

You drift into sleep.

Jollied up my heart,

Orange swirl-striped little cat -

Yes, she did that much.

Just having a dream,

Or maybe wishful thinking:

You are beside me.
