Acrostic Poems

So now that we've done a few serious poems lets do a fun one. Acrostic poems are probably one of the easiest poems to write. All you have to do is form a story by using the first letter of the subject. Sounds a little confusing, I know, but once you understand the concept you'll be whipping out acrostic poems like nobody's business.

We'll start with one using your own name. Here is mine:

Fun
Always
Ticks
Imagination
Making
Amazement

See? It's not as hard as you think. There are many different kinds of acrostic poems but we'll just start as easy as possible. The cool thing about acrostic poems is that can be used as a mnemonic device to help memorize things. Now you try making your own.

Here are even more examples of my acrostic poems:

Someone who
Insists on being
Sympathetic when you need it and gives
Time for healing through
Every heartbreak you
Receive.

Some place I often
Call
Hell every
Other bad week. But I
Often find myself
Loving it.
