In an acrostic poem, the first letter of each line in the poem works together to spell a word, usually the title of the poem. It may or may not rhyme:
FATHER
Fortitude of strength
Armor of protection
Tempered attitude
Helping hands
Encouraging us
Rewards of love.

An abecedarian is an alphabetic acrostic.
Rather than spelling out the title, each line begins with a word beginning with the next successive line in the alphabet. For example, if the first line begins with “A” then the second line would begin with a word starting with the letter “B”.
Watch for the next post coming in the near future. And if you haven’t visited lately, make sure to check out the recent additions to the poetry pages. There’s something for everyone.
