Reaching down, she scooped up a handful of the deep dark soil
Old smells of peat and fertilizer mingled with aromas of earth and moisture
Overhead, the sun poured light down, saturating the field

Lore (an acrostic poem)
Library of cultural knowledge

Enveloped in her azure blanket, she lets loose her own rain
Cape (an acrostic poem)

Eugene tied the blanket around his daughter’s shoulders. “Go get ‘em, tiger!”

The sad thing was he knew soon the sun would come out and the blanket of white would melt away, allowing his warts to once again be in plain sight.
At least for now he could pretend there had been nothing wrong as he sipped his spiked hot chocolate in front of the fireplace. Spring can take its own sweet time. He was happy to be buried in blankness.
