Pair (an acrostic poem)

Putting them together

And then going all in

It all was entrusted to a couple of kings

Really stunk when the other guy flushed

Soul (an acrostic poem)

Sounds escaped the sax that built a castle of blue ice

Over that the horns mourned the loss of innocence

Until the drums came in, then picked up the tempo

Letting everything melt into an ecstasy of melody

Fast (an acrostic poem)

Feasting on nothing

Already full of emptiness

Shannon looked at her world in front of her

Taking the void in both hands, she embraced infinity

Fear (an acrostic poem)

Focus on the lock.  Focus on the lock!

Even though Myra could hear the monster coming

As she finally got the combination right, she felt the razor slice her throat

Reality shattered as she felt her life force pulse away

Crashed (an acrostic poem)

Cody hit the wall, then he hit the Monster Energy Drink

Rallying his remaining reserves, Cody began to code some more

As he pounded the keys, Cody realized he was even thinking in code

Still, he could feel the friction of lethargy begin to slow his neurons

He doubled down, blinking away at the ever growing wave of exhaustion

Everything became a blur, but Cody pushed even harder

Didn’t realize a keyboard could leave such an imprint on his drool  drenched cheek

Heft (an acrostic poem)

Heavy thoughts weighed down Dan’s mind

Events had thrown him a massive curve ball

Forgoing self-preservation, Dan channeled his inner daemons

To hell with them all, Dan was going to heave it all away

Hit (an acrostic poem)

Her knuckles were covered in drywall dust

It hurt as small cuts oozed dark red blood

Too bad it wasn’t Tyson’s
