I recall someone talking about an 'annocrostic' or 'annochronostic' poem. I thought of 'acrostic' poetry.

I was in a room with a group of others - possibly a kitchen. A slightly older, possibly Brazilian woman, called out a word which was either an example or a starting point for this type of poetry. All I recall is that it started with 'm'.

It made me wonder - if there were such a thing as an 'annochronostic' or 'annochrostic' poem, what would make it unique?

For example, in an "acrostic" poem you write a word for each letter of the base word. Could 'anno', be linked to chronology and the passing of time? And if so how would that provide a form for word play?
