I never know what to call poems that took on the same acrostic. Here I have written the acrostic poem using Help Haiti Now which is the local name given to the OCM public outreach to get the region to raise money to help Haiti after they suffered one of the worst earthquakes in living History. This 7.0 Earthquake as measured on the Richter scale devastated the Haitian city of Port-au-Prince on Tuesday, January 12, 2010. The estimated casualties although revised from 100,000 down to 45-50,000 have been revised up again to 200,000 deaths and 250,000 injured with 1.5 million displaced and homeless.
