Acrostic

Acrostic poems do not have a structure... besides the one you give it. This type of poem is open to your choosing. An Acrostic is a poem where you spell out a name and write each line of the poem according to the order of the letters in the name. Pick the name of a loved one, pet, place, anything, and develop a poem according to how it's spelled.

Example Poem:

All work must start somewhere.

Count the moments you spend hating the piece you have created.

Rewrite if you think it is necessary.

Of course, no rough draft is perfect

Safe writing is perfectly fine, but

Tip toe into the raw. Free right and let it be.

Ink flowing free from a pen can be the most relieving thing.

Count the moments you spend loving the piece you have created.
