Almost Fell In Love (an acrostic poem)

At one time Riley thought he really cared for Tabitha

Little kisses snuck in when no one was looking

Making those goofy faces when they sent each other snaps

On the outside everything was perfect

Still, it was doomed to failure from the start

Too bad Tabitha was already married

 

Feelings were hurt when she wouldn’t leave her husband

Even after Riley had professed his feelings

Looking back it was probably all for the better

Leaving her husband would have put doubt in their relationship

 

It would have festered with Riley, wondering would she do it again

Never fully trusting her though he would try so hard

 

Little by little Tabitha and he grew apart

Only Jessica being there for him got him through it

Vixen that she was, she showed him what commitment could deliver

Eventually he grew to appreciate the wife he already had over the one he wanted

Temptation (an acrostic poem)

There once was a prince who desired the largest pearl in the world

Every day he obsessed with finding one bigger than what he owned

Many oyster divers would bring him their treasures with hope

Perhaps they would have a bigger one, and the prince would buy it

There was one woman whose beauty was world renowned

And she had a necklace given to her from her husband that had a large pearl

That story made it to the prince, and he called to meet with her

In retrospect, everyone knew what would happen next

Of course he wanted the pearl and the woman, but both were not for sale

Now he swings back and forth in his noose, a pile of pearls scattered under himn

Stay Hungry (an acrostic poem)

Slicing the tomato released that sweet acidic aroma into the air

Tearing basil and sprinkling the shreds on that red bed

Adding pulled apart chunks of fresh mozzarella

Yet it is not complete till the olive oil and balsamic vinegar is added

 

How excited John was when he finally finished making the salad

Undoing his napkin, he tucked it into his shirt color

Next came out the fork.  John got ready to dig in and yet…

Gary popped his head around the corner

Reaching out Gary said, “You made it for me honey?  Thank you so much.”

Yielding to his husband, John waved him off.  “Of course Gary,” he said.
