Acrostic poems are indeed like long acronyms with each letter standing for a word or sentence. They're a great starting point for poetry where the poem often encapsulates the meaning of the word. Here's a few poems from a recent creative writing session. In case you wondered, the title is the combined first letter of each line!
Circulating feelings, emotions, thoughts
Racing
Enthusiastically
About
The
Innermost deep
Voids of my soul
Igniting
Terrific
Yearnings to escape and be free
- Rachel
Fire
Raging
Under
Solitary
Truths
Rendering
Attractions of hope, passion, and dreams
Tearfully
Incapacitated
On the cold, empty road that will only take you down the path of
Never
- Rachel
Climb
Outside
Meet
Me
Under
Neath
The
Yellow
- Anon
Music plays bedside
It flows in like soft scent as
Natural as a breath, a
Deep well of density
Filling my bones
Uplifting my spirit
Leaving me lightly, wafting
Nowhere but here
Eyes closed, but
Still
Searching
- Anon
