Optics (an acrostic poem)

Observing the situation

Puts it in a whole new light

Though many will still try to interfere with the interpretation

It will take total internal reflection on your part to find the solution

Complete focus on the end goal will make it all possible

So everything will be resolved

Cereal (an acrostic poem)

Couldn’t start her morning without the stuff

Everyday was a bowl or two of sugary goodness

Really it was also a bowl for lunch, and maybe one for a late night snack

Eventually she realized she was an addict

And tried to quit cold turkey, but that didn’t end well

Locked up after freebasing all the Captain Crunch at Walmart

Punch (an acrostic poem)

Pushing lead to shoving that escalated from there

Until both idiots were doing a full on scuffle

Now normally I would call for the police to put an end to the altercation

Couldn’t this time, though, since they were two off duty boys in blue

How they explained the black eyes on Monday was going to be interesting

Turn (an acrostic poem)

There was no way to change direction

Until they decided upon a destination

Really it didn’t make a difference to either of them

Neither wanted the journey to end

Loop (an acrostic poem)

Like my love for you, a circle has no beginning or end

Of course, let two equal circles touch and now you have infinity

Only that infinity is how long I want to be with you, and those two circles are us

Perhaps that’s why a circle represents my love for you that has no beginning or end

Line (an acrostic conversation)

Image: evilenglish.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Cross-the-Line-326×245.jpg

“Last thing I plan on doing is dying”

“I guess it’s a a way to live your life, but it’s sort of weird though.”

“Nah. Everyone should live that way. Now that you know my master plan, what is yours?”

“Everything I can do to help you achieve your end goal.”

Road (an acrostic poem)

Image: mynorth.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Tunnel-of-Trees_Connor-Gray.jpg

Racing down this country lane with you

Outside the trees fly by

As time stands still inside

Determined to never have this moment end

Explode (an acrostic poem)

Image: becht.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/cover-piper1.jpg

Everyone is waiting for the election results

Xantax has become the concession of choice as we watch

Purple states become more red or more blue

Leading to highs and lows for both sides

Only at the end of it all

Do we accept the results and figure out what is next or

Everything going to go big boom?

Bean (an acrostic poem)

Being a Pinto type of guy

Everyone was worried about Tom’s back end

And they should be because of the potential of being explosive

No one wanted to see that come to pass

Trials (an acrostic poem)

The start to an ordeal is never easy

Reaching down deep to find the follow through can be painful

It can make you want to turn back, give up, curl up in a ball

And yet, there is so much awaiting you on the other end of it all

Look, you know it won’t be easy but…

Success is usually worth the price of admission
