Attack (an acrostic poem)

An army to the east and another to the west

That made his position in the middle very problematic

The command had told him to flee and save as many of his troops as he could

And that was tempting, but this was the small town his wife had grown up in

Couldn’t leave her family and friends to become at most a footnote in history

Knowing it was futile, he gave the order to charge. Maybe it would give them enough time to escape.

Betrayed (an acrostic poem)

Been promised that everything would be fine

Except that was never going to be true

That shouldn’t have surprised her

Rachel had grown up on the wrong side of the tracks

And no one there was ever able to keep their word, even if they tried

Yet this one hurt more than all the rest put together

Everett said he would always be there to hold her, to help make things right

Death had conveniently gotten him out of that, the bastard.  She spit on his grave.

Dark (an acrostic poem)

Damn!  Why are you so afraid?

All of a sudden the lights went out.

Really?  And you are a grown woman?

Killing you will be messier now, and I forgot my Swifter.

Curses (an acrostic poem

Can’t you just say the f word?

Uh, uh!  Not unless you say it first 

Really?  What are you, chicken?

See, you just can’t say it.  Be a grown up!

Enough, fine.  I forgive you.

See, you were wrong!

Lego (an acrostic poem)

Little plastic worlds

Emerging brick by brick

Giving children such satisfaction

Or grown men in this particular case
