Acrostic poetry is a fun and easy. It's a great introduction to poetry making a poem out of each letter comprising that word. In simpler terms, here's an explanation to teach it to children and for adults/ How to Teach kids to Write Acrostic Poems: http://www.ehow.com/how_5014612_teach-kids-write-acrostic-poems.html
An acrostic poem has one line for each letter of the word it spells. The first letter of each line reading down spells a word. So if my acrostic poem were about love, it would be four lines, but if it were about romance, it would be seven lines long.
Hebrew Poetry has been produced for on the order of 3000 years. During that long span, poets have adopted just about every known structural basis for their poetry. Juda Halevy, in his 12th century work, the Kuzari, praised traditional Hebrew poetry for its use of free verse, as opposed to what he saw as the new fad of strictly rhymed metrical poetry. Many of the psalms are structured as alphabetical acrostics, a form that never went completely out of style but was clearly more popular in ancient times. Another common structure is antiphonic verse, where each verse is a couplet where the two halves are parallel and well suited to reading by two readers or by reader and congregation. Some of the psalms make strong use of repetition, for example, beginning runs of consecutive verses with the same phrase while each verse ends quite differently. Even so, it seems extreme to claim that there is one structural basis for all Hebrew poetry or even for all psalms.
Some of the ways one can analyze a poem are listening to a reading (for rhythm, flow, contrast, etc.); structure (rhyming patterns, open or freestyle, etc.); words (complex, simple, native, foreign, connectives, punctuation, etc.); content, purpose and meaning; and emotional impact (how it makes one feel).

Acrostics come easily to people with large vocabularies. Bone up on those words, maybe buy a vocabulary energizer book. Look at the word the acrostic is modeled after. Think of what it is and what ways you can say it, trying to use the letters in the word to make the poem. Example: Love Lures Other Valentines. Entrapment. This would be written by someone with a somewhat negative view of love. On the flip side, a confused lover might write Lingering, Oblivious, Vacillating, Emotion. So the acrostic should mimic how you feel about the poem. Hope this helps, I love writing acrostics!
