An acrostic poem is a poem in which the first letter in each line vertically spells a word or phrase that is important and related to the contents of the poem. You lines cannot be single words. Instead they should be phrases or sentences. The word spelled vertically should be related to your theme. Also, be sure to use a poetic device.

Autumn Leaves

Amber-drenched foliage falling down
Underneath the wind's playful frown
The world is painted in orange and brown
Understanding the beauty of nature's crown
Making way for winter's gown
Nostalgia fills the air with its sound

Leaves rustle in rhythmic beat
Every step taken light and fleet
Along the path of nature's seat
Vivid colors our eyes meet
Every breath feels like an intoxicating treat
Savoring the season so sweet
