Cat (an acrostic poem)

Counting one one thousand, two..

As the half-filled shot glass completed its journey from the table to the floor

Thus proving the acceleration of gravity is still approximately  9.8 m/s^2

Reality (an acrostic poem)

Richard felt around for his pen

Even though his agent had warned him

Always have a pen ready, but Richard was a bit forgetful

Leaving it here and there along this book signing tour

Is it really his fault with all the fans screaming his name

Telling him that he was their dream writer

Yet when Richard woke up, all he had written was xcdfrt where his head hit the keyboard.

Twist (an acrostic poem)

Thomas watched her every move.

Whimpering she waited for him.

Is it the way she wiggled that behind?

She crouched down watching him with those eyes screaming do it.

Then Thomas threw the ball and Goldie gave chase.

Grace (an acrostic poem)

Given freely without strings

Radical idea of respecting a person’s humanity

Allowing them space to make mistakes

Carrying them when they have fallen down

Enhancing both lives

Music (an acrostic poem)

Magic brought to life

Undoing the chains of the mundane

Sending my soul soaring

Into the starry sky above

Courting the infinite

Toddler (an acrostic poem)

Tells it like it is, even in public

Oblivious to the stares and giggles

Doing untold things inside a diaper

Despite parents encouraging using the potty

Living life at the edge every day

Eager to learn, and then tell you about it

Repeatedly, like all the time, on steroids

Fear (an acrostic poem)

Feeling of desperation instead of empowerment

Encouraging helplessness instead of action

Asking for deliverance instead of enabling

Reacting instead of enacting

---

Don’t let fear be your life proxy!

Sinful (an acrostic poem)

Steve looked at the jacket in the window

Instinct told him not to buy it

No reason to even think about it

Furious with himself he walked away

Until he realized how much she would despise him for it

Laughing, he went into the store

Magic (an acrostic poem)

Making the impossible real

Amazing young and old

Giving everyone a shot of whimsy

Instilling wonder in a world full of facts

Captivating the mundane to free the extrodinary

Gamer (an acrostic poem)

Gather up resources

Analyze the board

Make the best move available

Endure your opponent’s turn

Rinse and repeat
