    About this ebook

    A collection of over sixty acrostic poems on a variety of subjects. In this volume the author's goal is to demonstrate that acrostics are not always simple teaching tools designed to drive home a point, but may be used as a genuine means of artistic expression. Because acrostic are a visual media, reformating on smaller screens may impact the acrostic message contained within the verse. Best viewed in a full page format.

    David Garrett

    Born and raised in east Texas, David Garrett's career path has been as varied as his interests. His jobs have included welder, teacher, paralegal, security guard, private investigator and more. But two constants have held a place in his life since his grade school days – a love for making music and for writing. From simple verses penned on an Indian Chief tablet to song lyrics to novels. The process continues today. It's in the blood.
