Day 5: Acrostic

Hello! 

An acrostic (uh-krahss-tik) poem is where the letters of a word or phrase are used as the first letters for each line in the poem. It is a popular style not only in poems but also in puzzles and prose. The poem can be of any length and deal with any topic/ theme. Those who want to experiment can write different styles of acrostic poems using the last letters of the words, placing each letter in the middle of the lines, etc.

 My Poem

Tender sapling unfurls from a cracked nut

Rising above the earth, aiming to touch the sky

Embarking on a journey spanning years

Enchanting, when grouped to form a forest
