وہ نظم کسے کہتے ہیں جس کی ہر سطر کے پہلے حروف سے ایک لفظ نکلے؟
Explanation
An acrostic poem is a type of poetry where the first, last, or other letters in a line spell out a particular word or phrase.
It comes from the Greek words "akros" and "stichos"
Which are synonymous with word 'outermost' and 'line of verse'
Example:
Acrostic poem to describe the specific word 'SUN'.
Sun shines brightly
Up in the sky
Nice and warm on my face
