Late (an acrostic poem)

Looking to try to change the past

And not living in the now

That is a recipe for disaster

Even if it would cleanse the bitter taste from your mouth

Ice (an acrostic poem)

It covers everything with a quarter-inch plate

Can’t walk on it safely to get to my car

Everyone is staying put today

Frost (an acrostic poem)

Forging on down the path less traveled

Rarely has such a line struck home as tonight

Outside the sleet and freezing rain coats everything

So driving right now is crazy difficult

That the plow is on the more traveled path makes me regret my decision

Pride was on display

Prancing around like tigers

Roaring to the win

List (an acrostic poem)

Lining items in a row

It can be rather intimidating

So instead I prefer to throw them into a grab bag

Then when I pull out the next task to do if feels spontaneous

Bust (an acrostic poem)

But as all her chips were swept away

Ursula still felt she should have hit

Since she had doubled down

That jack of spades was going to haunt her dreams

Scars (an acrostic poem)

So you have some marks on you from life’s battles

Can’t have lived without acquiring a few

And you have lived, so show them some fondness

Remember they help make you the unique person you are

So be proud and keep fighting.  You’re worth it!

Light (an acrostic poem)

Love came down as a baby

Igniting a beacon in the night

Giving hope to those in the darkness

Hope to those that had lost it

That all could find their way back home

Decision (an acrostic poem)

Don’t believe I chose this life

Even though I’ve lived it for over fifty years

Couldn’t really find a single point where

I didn’t coast along life’s eddy currents

So you see, I am a true floater

It might infuriate some of you

Or it might make me your hero

Now that, dear reader, seems to be your…

Youth (an acrostic poem )

Young at heart, her dad tried to look cool

Only he had no chance, and she knew it

Unaware of his odds, he struck a pose in front of her friends

They burst out laughing at his ineptness

He looked crestfallen, until she clapped, then hugged him
