Dread (an acrostic poem)

Don’t fear the reaper was a phrase that didn’t make sense

Reaper represented death, the end, that’s all folks

Everyone should be fearful.  They should be scared witless.

And that’s why he was so confused at the moment

Didn’t these people understand he was the real thing, especially on Halloween?

Dazed and confused

I sit here in front of my screen

Zoom to teach my classes

Zoom to meet with colleagues

Yet at times it seems pretty slow

Ghost (an acrostic poem)

Going dead was such a drag

Having no sensations other than mind-numbing pain

Or the inability to have any strong emotions

So Wendy just haunted her surroundings

The way their daughter just floated through her days confused Wendy’s parents

Temp (an acrostic poem)

The new girl was the bomb when it came to running the office

Everyone realized that she was a keeper from day one

Management asked the placement agency to make her permanent

People at the agency were confused.  They hadn’t sent anybody over.

Found (an acrostic poem)

Floundering through her life, confused and confounded

Oblivious to what her true self was

Under the pale gray emotional sky

Naomi finally felt she knew who she was

Didn’t know it would take being lost

Confused (an acrostic poem)

Can’t stand those Others

Others are genetic wastes

Nothing good ever comes from them

Fed up with having to deal with them

Useless is the best thing you could say about them

Still when I lost my wallet yesterday, an Other gave it back to me

Everything was still inside of it

Don’t know why this makes me feel uncomfortable
