Focusing on falling and missing the ground
Little Johnny jumped into the air
Yet gravity had other ideas

Drape (an acrostic conversation)
“Do you prefer blinds or shades?”
“Really it’s a toss-up, though my cats prefer blinds”
“Ah, I see. Is it because they love to peer through the slats?”
“People like to think that. No, it’s because they like to break off the ends”
“Entropy and gravity. The study of feline physicists everywhere.”
Weight (an acrostic poem)
What seemed so light moments before threatened to pull her down into the depths of despair
Every time it happened it took so much strength to try to pick up the pieces and try to move on
It was no use. She broke.
Giving way to the gravity of it all, she sunk to the floor
Her eyes teared up, the heavy drops of water falling
They were children!
Loose (an acrostic poem)
Lefty kept hanging around Ryan
Orbiting without a reason, leaving Ryan
Ornery and wishing a comet would crash into Lefty
Sending Lefty into deep space
Eventually finding another person’s gravity well
Gravity (an acrostic poem)
Given how much it meant to her, this failure left her soul feeling heavy
Reason told her this time wasn’t any different then the million times before
And she knew she should let go of that emotional weight
Vanity wouldn’t let that happen, though
It kept her rooted firmly on the ground
That pressure to beat Sisyphus by pushing up her metaphorical boulder
Yielded the same result. She never left her personal black hole
Flying (an acrostic poem)
Floating through the air
Laughing with unadulterated joy
Yielding finally to gravity, you fell
Into my waiting arms
Now you soar without me needing to catch you
God, I miss that job

Bra (an acrostic poem)
Bringing an uplifting experience
Robbing gravity its thunder
As well as a dainty touch to the day

Stardust (an acrostic poem)
Simple reactions born of hydrogen and gravity
Taking that simplest of building blocks
And combining into something more and more
Radiating energy with every step
Developing into heavier and heavier thing
Until the sun collapses under the weight of the products
Supernova scatters the remains across space and time
Till you and I were created

Gravity (an acrostic poem)
Giving the topic the weight it deserved
Rob thought about how heavy this discussion was going to be
Acerbity left his mouth fowled
Veiled threats forced themselves into his thoughts
It put pressure on what he was about to do
To think his dignity was about be sucked into a black hole
Yet he still made the airplane noises to get John to eat is peas

Cat (an acrostic poem)
Counting one one thousand, two..
As the half-filled shot glass completed its journey from the table to the floor
Thus proving the acceleration of gravity is still approximately 9.8 m/s^2
Never Short On Words
