Topic for today

What do you think when you read the word acrostic poem?

An acrostic poem

An acrostic poem is a poem in which certain letters of each line spell out a word, name, or phrase when read vertically. 

Most often, it's the first letter of each line that spells out the word, but they can be placed anywhere on the line. When they're placed elsewhere in the line, it forms a kind of hidden 'code'.
