Answer 1

That's an Acrostic Poem. My students do them in my Creative Writing class.

Edit: A taxonomy is actually a classification, not a poem. It could be used to make poems, but isn't, in itself, a poem. An acronym is simply an abbreviation of the first letters of a name, like AIDS for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Answer 4

It's called an acrostic, and it's a form of poetry. It can be all one word describing something, like:

Amazing

Nice

Noble

Intelligent

Energetic

Or, it could be almost like a sentence, like:

An amazing and

Nice person who

Never puts anyone down or

Insults anyone;

Everyone loves her

It doesn't necessarily have to be about a person's name. It could be about anything, for example: a season (spring, fall, summer, winter) or a time of day (day, afternoon, nighttime, midnight). It could be about a holiday, or anything you want! Hope that was helpful!
