Acrostic Poems ... and some prose

by Mike Miller

Overview

Acrostics - many think of the puzzle, clues, answered in numbers spaces, transferred to a grid, resulting in a message. Well, Acrostic Poems are different. Read the first letter of each line down, there's a message, and the body of the acrostics says more about the message. Or read the first letter of each word in the following sentence: Any Challenge Requires Outside Study To Inform Completely. Famous authors who wrote acrostics include Lewis Carroll (Through the Looking Glass), Edgar Allen Poe (ELIZABETH). Here is a collection of fun and functional acrostics, most original by the author. Also included is a guide to creating your own acrostics
