Perhaps you should sit quietly and think about what if…

Or at least open your mind to the possibilities

Now that you see what is available, you can take action

Determine how to make the changes needed to get there

Everything action leading to the next, but…

Remember all that action stems from the moments of silence.

Dry (an acrostic poem)

Dowsing for deeply hidden water

Realizing that there was no x to make the spot

Yet the glass I hold is demanding to be filled

Glove (an acrostic poem)

Given how worn the leather mitt was

Left little doubt to the owner’s love of the game

Only there was also a second one that was barely broken in

Viewing them together left John feeling such remorse

Eventually he put the second one on beefier breaking down and crying

Decide (an acrostic poem)

Determine which pill you are going to take

Engage a chaotic future of tremendous highs and lows by selecting the purple pill

Calm down and have a boring life by selecting the orange pill

It comes down to choice of lifestyle

Don’t ask for a do over, this is a one-time offer world-wide

Everything comes down to this moment.  What do you choose?

Drop (an acrostic poem)

Doesn’t know or care much where her tears may fall

Reaching that point where the pain becomes a baseline, a background

It grays out the world into a monochromatic morass

Punishing her one drop at a time

Robot Pause

Sorry, but I won’t have an acrostic poem for you tonight. I was pretty busy creating a new version of a cool robot hand made out of rubber bands for the actual “fingers”. I’ll get a video of it together so you can see it in the next couple of days as well as a n acrostic poem to go with it.

Let me know in the comments if something like this is interesting. Thanks!

Swarm (an acrostic poem)

So many annoyances buzzing all around.

Why are they picking on me?

All I want to do is swat at these bothersome gits

Releasing me to get on with my life

Maybe if I bought one of those electric zappers

Turn (an acrostic poem)

 

That missing left at Albuquerque

Until you experience that aha moment

Realize that by making that accidental right

Now you can start living your own adventure

Slip (an acrostic conversation)

 

So, you thought I would lapse in my attentiveness, and then you would give me the underdress.

Lilly, what are you blundering about this time?

It makes no difference, I found the small dock you parked your getaway dingy at!

Perhaps before you verbally stumble some more you should hand over the thesaurus.

Crease (an acrostic poem)

 

Cutting and tape would be cheating

Realize the Zen of proper folding

Elephants and cranes made of paper

As fingers show off their dexterity

Solemnly teasing out a third dimension from two

Evoking the surreal as its goal
