Acrostics are easy to write and simple in format. The name of the person, object, place and so on is written vertically down the left hand side of the page. Each letter is capitalized and becomes the first letter of the word beginning each line. The words used should describe the person, object or place in a positive way. Each line may comprise a word, a phrase or a thought that is continued on to the next line. Acrostics require writers to choose the best words and the best sentence construction within the limitations imposed by the form.

Here is an example:



Kangaroos

Around in the

Night,

Grazing

And eating,

Racing

Over paddocks

Or

Sleeping after jumping.
