- Single Acrostic - Common or Single letter forming the poem
- Double Acrostic - The first line and the last line form a word or message .It can be the same word/message or different word /message
- Complex Acrostic - It falls under any place say in the middle or on the first alphabet of the second or third word in a poem.
ACROSTIC POEM
Single Acrostic -
Example:With a word 'LOVE'
Look for reasons to help when confided
Open your heart and ear when needed
Enjoy their being with you always
Example :With the Letter 'L'
Learn to forgive with
Little curves called smile making
Lines of the life path straight to
Live in abundance and
Lead a happy life
Perfume Acrostics using only a single letter :)
