Poetry Challenge—Introducing the Acrostic Form 2: The Name Acrostic
Sometimes acrostic poems form a name. Here is a simple one based around a Greek myth:
More than anything you lovedIts surface brightly gleamingDinars, bullion, jewellery, bars of goldAs though they could all beauty holdSo your price of learning is oft told
Why don’t you give it a try? Try writing at least one acrostic, using a name for inspiration, every day this week.
You can find out more about how to write acrostics from the following sites:
