This study aims to examine the identification and diversity of acrostic poems produced within the ashik-style poetry tradition. Acrostic is a poetic form in which meaningful words or word groups are formed by arranging the initial letters of lines in a specific order. This study explores how acrostic poems have been used in different periods and cultures within Turkish literary history, evaluating their structure within the context of ashik-style poetry tradition through examples. Acrostic poems have found a distinctive place within the ashik-style poetry tradition. These poems not only enable the ashiks (minstrels) to creatively express their emotions and thoughts but also emphasize the artistic aspects of language. Different types and functions of acrostics enrich the creativity of ashiks and allow the exploration of various themes. The study examines diverse examples, ranging from poems constructed based on the alphabetic order to sentence acrostics, from acrostic-bound koşmas (a form of folk poetry) to yedekli koşmas (footed poems), demonstrating how this poetic form has been utilized across a wide spectrum. Acrostics not only highlight the functions and aesthetic features of language but also enrich the intellectual and emotional worlds of readers. This form assists ashiks in conveying their intended messages in a unique manner to the readers. Additionally, the utilization of acrostics in various areas of folk culture underscores the extensive societal influence of this poetic form. In conclusion, acrostic poems within the ashik-style poetry tradition emphasize the aesthetic and emotional functions of language, accentuating creativity. This significant literary genre, providing enrichment and meaning for both authors and readers, has been effectively employed across diverse domains of Turkish literature and is expected to continue as an integral part of this tradition in the future.
