I believe what you are looking for is what they call an acronym ... Which stands for *** ACRONYM: Abbreviated Coded Rendition Of Name Yielding Meaning :-)

Hope that helps :)

It is called an acronym. These are the abbreviations that are formed from the initial constituents in a phrase or name. You can use an Acronym Finder, which is the world's largest and most inclusive dictionary of acronyms from http://www.acronymfinder.com/.

I think what your thinking of is an acrostic poem.
Perhaps it looks like this?
Only the first letter of each stanza
Eventually spells out a word
My acrostic poem spells out POEM

I hope this helps
