What is a acrostic?
Read down the first letters of each line and a hidden word appears. As old as Greek epigram, as common as Sunday school.
Acrostics are one of the oldest poetic forms — they appear in the Hebrew Bible, in early Latin poetry, in medieval prayer. The form's appeal is purely visual: a poem that doubles as a puzzle.
Tip: The hidden word should match the poem's subject. If you generated 'HOPE' but the poem is about despair, the puzzle is wasted.
