Acrostic poems are easy to compose

   You use a noun and talk about that noun.  Here is a very simple
   example:
     Poems are not
     Over rated.
     Everyone can write something
     Meaningful for
     Someone, if not everyone.

      Have you ever tried writing acrostic poem based on the letter of a person's name? I did. Why don't you try writing acrostic poem that contains more words per line? It is equally interesting.. Good work!

   Never heard of an acrostic poem. It seems that, sometimes, restrictions on style and form actually foster creativity. I may try this.

   Nice.
   I like the idea that
   certain poems can spell words,
   even if they can be a bit contrived (like this one).

   Basically this is
   
   Anything you have...
   
   Really, absolutely ANYTHING !
   
   That someone
   
   Else is willing to
   
   Recycle
   
   
   
   Burrowing through
   
   Internet sites for trades
   
   Searching the house for goods
   
   Tensely negotiating with
   
   Recyclers everywhere
   
   Online
   
   
   
   Had fun using this style on a Hub reply here :

      Mnemonics is cool, too. You'd be surprised that a poem can be not just a work of art composed of words. It can even be a painting. the mnemonic aspect is the designs and colors to which you have assigned a "meaning" which can be as complicated or simple as you want it to be. My own innovation.

   I tried an acrostic poem, for a class.
   
   Tick tock, tock tick
   In the kitchen
   Clock hammers loudly
   Knacking on your head
   Telling you to go
   Over the edge
   Can you do it
   Knowing it's not true?
   
   TICKTOCK
   
   What do you think? This was my first one ever to be posted online. All the other, I didn't like.
