Acrostic poem

An acrostic poem is a poem where the first letter of each line (or the last letter of each line) spells out a specific word.

This is also an Acrostic poem

Haiku

Haiku: 5 – 7 – 5  

3 lines (regels)

1st line: 5 syllables (lettergrepen)

2nd line: 7 syllables

Haiku poems don’t rhyme.

Haikus are easy. 

But sometimes they don't make sense.
