What is an acrostic?
An acrostic is a poem that is a form of ‘constrained’ writing. This means it is written in a specific way. The benefit of constrained writing is that it gives you a pattern for your poem, instead of starting with a blank sheet.
Acrostic poems work by writing a word vertically down the side of a page. We will call this word the ‘topic word.’ You then use each letter as the beginning of a line of poetry. Each line should relate back to the topic word in some way.
Example:
Daisy
Down at a mouse’s eye-level
A scattering of pure white
In amongst the clouds of dandelions the
Sun plays with its yellow shadows. They are
Yours to pick and weave.
Suzanne Batty
