Yes!. You can manage an acrostic poem as if it were freeform, as long as you stick to the first letter of every line being the word you are using!.

Elict!? What is this!?

I have seen many acrostics in all shapes and sizes, some consisting of one word per line, others of a narrative with the letters at the beginning of each line seemingly picked from whatever word had it!. I see no reason why you can't do what you want, after all, who is going to sue you!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

You have used a time-honored poetic device known as enjamb(e)ment!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
