A to Z Poetry: Acrostic Poems

An acrostic poem is where the first letter of each line spells out the title or some other word.

Advancing on the upward
Slope of the mountain
Cresting the summit
Exulting in 
Nature's
Treats











Zenith rises to
Orion's left;
Deneb Algedi 
Indicates a trine with
Aries, Taurus, and
Capricorn

  5. This is the first time I've done acrostics. I've tried to pick as many poetry forms this month that I could that were completely new to me. Thanks for stopping by all :)

  13. I've never tried an acrostic. They look fun and difficult, and you do it well. I like the Haiku, brings back memories of hiking the Appalachians in Pennsylvania.
