Loop (an acrostic conversation)

“Look, everything has a beginning and an ending”

“Oh, except the universe, or an eight, or a circle, or…”

“Okay, you made your point”

“Points are finite. That has a beginning and an ending”

Rocket (an acrostic poem)

Racing up through the atmosphere

On a giant plume of flame

Carrying a massive amount of explosive materials

Knowing a single spark in the wrong place could be disastrous

Ending everything in the blink of an eye

That view though, once the blue sky faded, always made it worth it

Loopy (a cinquain)

A cinquain is a five line poem that has the following form:

2 syllables, 4 syllables, 6 syllables, 8 syllables, 2 syllables

The author is allowed to add or subtract 1 syllable from the count for each line. I decided for my first one I would follow the purest form of a cinquain.

The end

It’s just a start

Waiting for creation

So when you get to the ending

Begin

Crowded (an acrostic poem)

 

Covid19 kept everyone away for so long

Randy got used to being on his own

Only now those restrictions were ending

Which meant everyone was doing their most to get out

Disturbing him with their proximity

Eventually, he had to reisolate himself

Determined to keep the spirit of Covid19 alive

Curious (an acrostic poem)

Can’t wait to find out the ending?

Unless you skip to the last line you will need to wait

Really, no matter how fast you read, it will take longer than you want

I keep building up the hype.  Can you wait till the end?

Or did you already peak at it?

Under this line, you will finally find the end

So was it as good for you as it was for me?

Dust (an acrostic poem)

Dirt coated the remnants of civilization

Underneath the grime, the dead cars told a story

Silhouettes burned into the pavement eternally listened

The wind moaned at the ending
