Blue (an acrostic poem)

Being depressed on a day where light rains down from a robin’s egg sky

Leaves her wanting to curse up and down for feeling blah on such a perfect day

Ultimately, she goes to her safe space, puts on some B.B. King, and curls up in a ball

Enveloped in her azure blanket, she lets loose her own rain

Pill (an acrostic poem)

 

Popping the capsules into her mouth

It took only a swallow to let them begin their magic

Letting her relax and mellow out from the pain

Love that Advil feeling

Flip (an acrostic poem)

 

Feeling like a coin spinning through the air

Listing endlessly from heads to tails and back again

It makes for an uncomfortable situation and fills those around you with apprehension.

Perhaps instead of chocolate or vanilla soft serve,  you might settle on your edge, twist!

Valley (an acrostic poem)

 

Vast hills of overwhelming emotions rim his psyche

All casting shadows in the depths where he lays at rest

Looking at the prospect of climbing out

Leaves him feeling exhausted before he even begins

Every step a struggle, the climb pure torture

Yet once high up in the surrounding hilltops the view of tomorrow is amazing

Sweat (an acrostic poem)

 

So much water was pouring out of her body

Watching it rain upon the ground on this sunny day was fascinating

Every piece of her clothing was supersaturated

And she felt like she was swimming in her own juices

That all doubled her feeling of being a badass after that workout

Duck (an acrostic poem)

Despite feeling pretty fowl

Uncle Daffy was out hunting

Couldn’t find a single deer, just a damn rabbit

Killing the bunny might have been satisfying, but they weren’t in season

Win (an acrostic poem)

When you finally get something to go right

It spreads across your face as the feeling grows inside

Now onto the next challenge

Safe (an acrostic poem)

Silently Malcolm crept up to his target

And yet he didn’t strike out at her

Feeling that something wasn’t quite right, he turned and walked away

Evelin smiled, and her eyes glowed.  He was fleeing.  Now it was her turn to hunt.

Funk (an acrostic poem)

Fuzzy electric guitar warmed his ears

Under which the bass line pushed him forward

Navigating the strong drum beat

Knocking out the depression he had been feeling all day

Cold (an acrostic poem)

Coughing white steam while walking

Oblivious to the icicles forming his beard

Losing feeling in all exposed body parts

Deciding the Caribbean was a place he needed to be
