Yes Shak, you have very well understood.
I am looking for some ideas to write a poem or prose lines starting with those letters and that speak of healthy life style (food, smoke, alcohol, physical exercise and so on...)

I think it is not easy to write a good acrostic in a foreign language even if I use a dictionary.
Any suggestions?

Have nice time, ciao

Helen was a skinny vegan
Egon was a cook
Adam lived next door to Megan
Lovely little crook

They could really meet each other
Hence they could make friends
Yet the diet'd be a thing to bother
For, it always rends

"Oh my God, I hate the cabbage!" -
"Oops, I don't eat meat!"
Don't afraid before the marriage to admit!

Elisa, Shakespear,

It's a pleasure to humble minstrel to entertain such the enlightened public.

This is the first time to come across the term (acrostic). It's really a good technique to be used in teaching speaking accompanied by critical thinking.
