The first person had the idea top take these leaves, dry them, and then soak them in boiling water
Evidently was equal parts insane and genius
And I salute them tonight as I lift my cup

Melt (an acrostic poem)
Majestic sunlight splashed into puddles beneath the lush green canopy
Everything here was damp or wet from the extreme humidity
Locals here didn’t have a word for dry. There was no need
That’s why when his cousins from Iceland came to visit they would …
Flood (an acrostic poem)
Flowing water piled on top of flowing water
Leaving the water underneath it even wetter
Overwhelming the earth’s ability to contain the fluid assault
Obliterating the concept of dry land
Determined to not let an ark survive this time

Soothe (an acrostic poem)

Overflowing into her life

That is just temporary
Her storms will pass and the emotional sea will calm
Eventually, she will dry off and be herself once more

Fade (an acrostic poem)
Foundations of water dry up
And the once fertile soil begins to blow away
Destroying years of what was built up
Everything slowly decaying

Tart (an acrostic poem)

Sweat (an acrostic poem)
Softly the salty water plopped on the stone dry earth
While her pulse pounded in her own ears
Each step quickly followed by another
As she ran from the person she once was
Towards the person she wanted to be
