The acrostic poem is a unique form used by many to render greetings in a special way to the name of a person.
It consists of a series of lines in which certain letters, usually the first ones found in each line, form a name, motto, or message when read in sequence.
It may be used also to spell out hidden words or messages.
Historically, an acrostic poem is one in which the initial letters from the alphabet is called an abecedarius.
Additionally, ancient Greek and Latin writers, medieval monks, and renaissance poets are among those who devised acrostics forms.
