Young writers love Acrostic Poems (note: there is plenty of heated debate about whether an Acrostic is really a poem) because Acrostic poems can be easy to visualize — just use the letter of a word written vertical that the poem is about, writing each line horizontal.
A Reverse Acrostic comes at the concept from the other mirrored angle — here, you make the letters of the last word of each line, as read downward vertical, be the name of the thing the poem is about. So, instead of starting with a letter, you end with a letter.
Write a short Reverse Acrostic. Either capitalize or use some fancy font tricks or formatting to make the Acrostic word (now on the right side of the Tweet) visible.
