Telestich

The TELESTIC poem is the same as an ACROSTIC, only the words aligned to the right-hand side spell the word, usually the same word as the title of the piece.

There is no set rhyme scheme or syllable count in the telestich poem.

Schematic:

xxxL1
xxxL2
xxxL3
xxxL4
xxxL5
xxxL6
xxxL7

where "L1" through "L7" is the spelled word aligned to the right
Example by L. Gale:

Winter Wonderland (A King Is Born)

They followed the star toward a land they did not know
These wise men that were called magi
Looking for an infant king who would reign
Not only in this world, but throughout
Eternity. The long awaited promise to God’s people

They were called by an angel choir
These common shepherds. A special few
chosen to welcome the echo
Of God born
In a stable with a manger for his bed

With priceless gifts the eastern trio came
Offering also reverence and prayer
The shepherds bowed to worship this jewel
Who entered life with such little drama
But would forever change the destiny of man

And create throughout the earth, on Christmas day, a winter wonderland
