What good is an acrostic?

Acrostics can be valuable in several ways. Here are four of them:

Acrostics help with memorization by using the first letters of words to form an easily recalled phrase. A familiar example is "Every Good Boy Does Fine" (for musical notes E-G-B-D-F on the treble clef).
Acrostics are used in poetry, literature, and personal writing to add depth and meaning. Example: Writing a poem where the first letters of each line spell out a name or a word.
Teachers use acrostics to help students remember complex information in a structured way. Example: "HOMES" (to remember the Great Lakes: Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior).
Personalized acrostics can be used in motivational or sentimental messages. Example: H.O.P.E. – Hold On, Pain Ends.
