Bucket (an acrostic poem)

Become part of a brigade

Uplift everyone and pass them on

Checking to make sure they are full as they leave your care

Keeping them moving and helping them put out their fires along the way

Everyone just has to do a little to have a large impact

Then we can assist each other when we are empty by filling each other back up

Trick (an acrostic poem)

That’s when she pulled up her sleeves before

Reaching behind his ear to pull out a twenty-dollar bill

It amazed not only the crowd, but her as well

Checking again, she pulled yet another twenty from his ear.  She tried again

Kept pulling out the money yet no one noticed his ears seemed to grow pointy

Sorry (an acrostic poem)

So, obviously I have not been posting that much to my blog lately

Oh believe me, I wanted to keep publishing every day, but I had my reasons

Reason one, my professional life has demanded more of my time

Reason two, I needed to get a bunch of stuff done around my house

Yet the time is coming where I will return.  Thank you, and please keep checking in

Bounce (an acrostic poem)

Boing, boing, boing went Maurice’s heart down the stairs

Outside he kept his happy face pasted on

Underneath he was screaming and sobbing uncontrollably

No one had told him how to handle the rejection

Counting to ten he smiled weakly at the cashier

Everything had to be put back because his checking account said so
