4 Ιαν 2022 · An acrostic poem is a poem in which the first letter (or sometimes the first syllable) of each line spells out a word, name, or sentence. A good example is Lewis Carroll’s untitled poem, usually called “Life Is but a Dream,” at the end of Through the Looking-Glass.
9 Νοε 2023 · These fourteen acrostic poems feature many creative wordplays, sometimes even breaking the form’s ‘rules’ in meaningful ways to mirror a poem’s particular message. Psalm 37, for example, showcases at least three distinct kinds of alliterative wordplay.

30 Ιουλ 2013 · The acrostic psalms are not of a specific genre (or Gattungen). They can variously have strong elements of thanksgiving (34, 111), wisdom motifs and style (34, 37, 112), they can praise (9, 145), they can lament (10, 25, 119?) or there can be a focus on Torah (119).
ACROSTIC. a-kros'-tik: The acrostic, understood as a short poem in which the first letters of the lines form a word, or name, or sentence, has not yet been proved to occur in ancient Hebrew literature. The supposed examples found by some scholars in Psalm 2:1-4 and Psalm 110:1-4 are not generally recognized.
While some acrostics correspond with the complete alphabet (e.g., Ps 34; 119; Lam 3), others reflect a part of the Hebrew alphabet (Nah 1:2-8) or extend over chapter divisions (Pss 9-10). As mentioned, Lamentations 1-4 is an example of a Hebrew acrostic. Chapter 3 is available to read below.
This poem paints a picture of a woman who embodies real, practical wisdom from A to Z, or from aleph to tav. Yet, as Carol Meyers points out, this poem does not in fact exhaust the scope of practical economic activity for ancient Israelite women. The acrostic form may therefore be helping to communicate something that the poem’s content does not.
