The initial letter of each line spells out a focus word or phrase. The remainder of the poem may be free verse or could employ other poetic devices such as rhyming couplets.
I’ve tried a Kenning poem today – although normally you would leave the name a secret and not reveal it at the beginning!

Dick Whittington's cat - with blue ears!



Dick Whittington
Idealist, impoverished.
City dreamer,
Keep it upper!

Weary, disillusioned
Hungry, collapsed.
Infested by mice,
Tiny room -
Terrific cat!
Invested, traded,
No cat:
Going home.
Turn again!                           (Astonished, he decided to stay.)
Obtained ‘Mayor’

Never forgot.
