# Introduction In this challenge, we will be working with acrostic poetry. Acrostic poetry is a type of poetry where the message is hidden in the first words of each line. The goal of this challenge is to create a function that can decipher the message in the acrostic poem by extracting the first words of each line and concatenating them together. For example, there is a poem: > **Rain** is falling all around, **It** falls on field and tree. > **It** rains on the umbrella here, **And** on the ships at sea. If we extract the first character from each line and concatenate them together, the message is: **RainItItAnd**.
