Poke (an acrostic poem)

Pushing her to her limit

Only she couldn’t react

Knowing it would just encourage him

Except he was so cute when his pudgy toddler finger pushed her tummy and he squeaked …

Buggy (an acrostic poem)

Bounding the dunes without a care in the world

Under the glittering stars high above

Giving a middle finger to the rest of the jealous, stressful world

Going to do this forever and nothing was going to stop me

Yet that’s when the car’s computer crashed and left me stranded on the God-forsaken beach all alone

Tiny (an acrostic poem)

The enormity of the situation was not lost on Joy.

It made everyone around her pause and take notice of how bad it was getting

Nothing in her life had prepared her for what was to come

Yet the feel of her baby daughter’s hand wrapped around her finger gave her hope.

List (an acrostic poem)

Layer upon layer of things that need to be done yesterday

It taunts me and give me the middle finger

Sending my emotions into a conniption fit

Then I decide to rip the damn thing up

Thorn (an acrostic poem)

The rose bit Olivia’s finger, releasing a single scarlet drop

Hendrik felt horrible.  She was the love of his life and he had caused her pain

Olivia sucked at her wound with a small pout on her face

Realizing he needed to do something, he leaned forward to seal it with a kiss

Never seeing the rose as she smashed it into his face

The Ring (a 100 word story)

The ring bound him to her.  He wondered what insanity had caused him to willingly volunteer to wear the cursed thing in the first place.  Still, in that moment of weakness, he had accepted her boon and doomed his soul.

He looked at the perfect circle of gold and thought about chopping the whole finger off.  He’d be better off maimed for the rest of his life.  He couldn’t do it though.  She had taken so much of his strength that he didn’t have the fortitude anymore.

Instead he closed his eyes and dreamt of her when she was alive.

Gross (an acrostic poem)

Gelatin-like mucus covered Phil’s finger

Rationally he knew he should wipe it off

Or flick it to the ground, but he just couldn’t

So he brought it closer to his face

Shaking his head he put the booger in his mouth and swallowed

Echo (an acrostic poem)

Evan screamed at the injustice he saw

Crying out to all who were near

He made sure to point his finger at those not able to see it

Only he was blind to the four fingers he pointed at himself

Crafty (an acrostic poem)

Catching her eye, Miguel made sure to flash his manly charm

Raquel smiled a shy smile and lightly bit her finger

Assuming he was the man, Miguel strutted over

Flirting hard, Raquel gave Miguel a huge hug before dropping him to leave with her friends

Turning away, Miguel told Raquel she was missing out as he walked away in victory

Yet Miguel never noticed his wallet was missing till he got home
