An acrostic is a type of poem, word puzzle, or writing style where the first letters (or sometimes the last or middle letters) of each line, verse, or paragraph spell out a word, phrase, or message when read vertically.
Key Features:
- Structure: Each line or section begins with a specific letter from the chosen word or phrase.
- Theme: The acrostic usually relates to the word or phrase being spelled, either directly or thematically.
- Creative Use: It can be used for poetry, prayers, educational activities, or even as a fun and interactive way to express ideas.
Example:
For the word FAITH:
- Forever trusting in God’s plan,
- Always leaning on His love,
- In trials, finding strength in Him,
- Trusting through every storm,
- Holding fast to His promises.
Acrostics can be both creative and meaningful, making them a popular choice for personal reflections, journaling, or educational projects.
