Begin (an acrostic poem)
Best to keep thinking about the prize
Even if it’s so far away
Given the journey will be a difficult one
Imagine the stories that you will have to tell
Now go out there and ….
Simplify (an acrostic poem)
Sitting amid the chaos of his desk
Ian surveyed his life with a simple glance
Many pieces of paper that made up his existence
Played among other scraps from other peoples’ lives
Leaving his desk a chaotic world of its own
Ian questioned how he should approach this task
For there were so many ways this could go badly
Yet a match was such a satisfying answer…
Red (an acrostic poem)
Redirecting my attention to my bank account
Eying the balance as it kept declining
Didn’t stop when it hit zero. Uh oh!
Starlight (an acrostic poem)
Standing in a drizzle of ancient photons
Thinking of the vast distances they had traveled
Announcing their presence on my retina
Revealing their origin in the universe
Losing myself in that moment
I lay back opening my parched eyes
Gazing even deeper back in time
Hoping one day I could gaze so far back
That I could see the birth of my atoms
Grammar (an acrostic poem)
Gifting the world with your awesome thoughts
Reaching deep you crafted the perfect haiku
As you hit publish, you sit back waiting for the praise to roll in
Meanwhile thousands of people wonder about you
Many let you know about the difference between your and you’re
Already too late to retract the mistake, you stamp your foot down
Ranting that it was fine since true writers no when to brake the rules
Random (an acrostic poem)
Reaching for an apple, the doctor was admitting he didn’t want to be there
Aspirin wouldn’t be put on the market if discovered today
Never talk about Fight Club, but hanging fliers in public spaces is encouraged
Don’t let woodchucks into log cabins, just in case they decide to answer THE question
Obvious things are never obvious, especially to conspiracy theorists
Making acrostic poems can be a fun hobby
