Cliff (an acrostic poem)

Coming up to the edge and looking down

Leaves her feeling butterflies in the stomach and light headed

It makes her feel like she could fly if she just had faith and took that last step.

Focusing on that feeling, she makes her decision and closes her eyes, allowing herself to drop

Falling backward, she lands on a pillow of grass, happy with her choice

Price (an acrostic poem)

 

Purchasing liberty through sacrifice

Red stained trails through foreign lands

It fulfilled a solemn oath

Cutting freedom away from the oppressor’s  grasp

Ensuring another day for democracy
