An acrostic poem, also referred to as a name poem, is a formal style of poem in which the first letters of your name start each line of the poem. A name poem uses descriptive traits derived from the letters of your name, arranged vertically with the first letters artistically rendered to create an acrostic poem suitable for framing. Creating, previewing and printing name poems is fun and easy to do. With an Internet connection and a little imagination, you can have your own custom name poem done in minutes.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Computer
  • Internet
  • Acrostic poem creator
  • Printer
  • Paper
  1. Step 1

    Visit the acrostic poem creator website (See References for link). It's free, easy to use, and requires no sign-up. Select one of thirteen acrostic poem style templates by clicking the style template preview of the template you want to use. The acrostic poem setup will appear.

  2. Step 2

    Write a word that begins with the same letter as the first letter in your name. If you can't think of a word, click on "Help with Words" to get a list of suggestions to inspire you. Think of words that you feel best describe you, or words that others have used to describe you. The final poem should be a representation of how you see yourself.

  3. Step 3

    Continue to click the "Next" button until you have created a word starting with same letter as each letter in your name. You can do this for the first name only, or for the first and last name. Write the words in upper or lower case. Click "Make a Poem" when you're finished.

  4. Step 4

    Print your acrostic name poem if you are satisfied with the preview. If not, you can start again. Your printed name poem will be suitable for framing.

Tips & Warnings
  • Frame these name poems and give them as gifts to show someone special what you think of him or her.
