Are you familiar with the Acrostic poem? Where you write a word vertically down a page and fit an apposite word or sentence for each line?
Acrostic Style – This is a poem that is constructed in such a way that the first letter of each
line can be compiled together to spell one or more words. They may often be the same as
the title.
This example is particularly clever it begins and ends with Stroud,
by Paul Hansford –
Set among hills in the midst of five valleyS,
This peaceful little market town we inhabiT
Refuses (vociferously!) to be a conformeR.
Once home of the cloth it gave its name tO,
Uphill and down again its streets lead yoU.
Despite its faults it leaves us all charmeD.
Here is a one ended acrostic for adventure.
Adventure
Addictive activity
Voyage into new territory
Extreme excitement
Navigating new pathways
Thrill seeking comes in different colours
Unlimited opportunities
Risk or risk averse there are opportunities to
Experience adventure.
