Acrostic Poetry

Acrostic Poetry is where the first letter of each line spells a word (usually using the same words as in the title).

Example #1:

Heartbreaking

He broke my heart

Every piece, shattered

All I wanted was his love

Real, as he promised

True, as mine for him

But he walked away

Right in the middle of paradise

Every beat of my heart

Aches for his love

Keeping the flame aglow

I will wait by the light

Never losing the hope

God will send him back to me
