An acrostic poem is one in which the letters going down the poem, spell out a word.
In the following poem, I wrote about my husband, before he passed away, the bold letters at the beginning of each line spell Barry Beall.
Barry, My Love
by
Glenda Beall
Always makes me happy.
Routinely perks my spirits up,
Romances me with a song.
Yesterdays have been fantastic.
Because he's in my life
Every day holds new excitement
As we progress on a marriage that has
Lasted forty-five years and will
Last for all eternity.
