Definition: Acrostics, also known as syllabics, refers to a type of written text that contains repeated phrases or words with an emphasis on rhythm and rhyme scheme. The first syllable of each line, or acronyms, are stressed and repeated in a manner that creates a rhythmic pattern. For example, the word "acrobatics" is made up of the following 6 syllables: a-cro-b-tics. In this context, acrostics are often used to enhance understanding by providing information on several closely related words or concepts. Acronymists use these structures not only for academic purposes but also in creative writing where they can create catchy and memorable sentences with their creativity.
