Poetry - an Acrostic Poem

                   Poetry

Playful words trip o’er the page
Ordinary, yet sublime
Eternal as a constant flame
Traveling through the test of time
Reaching for the perfect image
Yearning to say it all.

3 types – (those familiar with this form can try the more challenging of the form.)
Regular: A poem or series of lines in which certain letters, usually the first in each line, form a name, motto, or message when read in sequence.

2nd Letter: A poem or series of lines in which the second letter in each line forms a name, motto or message when read in sequence.

Double/(Mirror): A double/(mirror or shadow) acrostic poem is the same as an acrostic poem, except that the line ends with the same letter that it starts with. http://www.shadowpoetry.com/resources/wip/acrostic.html
