What is an acrostic poem

Yesterday I was learning about acrostic poems, and I saw they were actually pretty fun! Here is an example of one.

Here is the main word: leaf 

Leaves trees in Autumn

        Evening beauty

        All different colors

Funny shapes

Do you see something about these sentences that relates to the word leaf? Here, let me tell you what it is. All of the first letters of each sentence spells leaf . Cool, right? You try it. Maybe start with your name, describe yourself  in the sentences. Don’t just write canopy for C like in my name, write something that describes you, like,  instead of  a random word like canopy use cute. Or creative.  Go try it! (If you haven’t already! 😉 )
