Watch (an acrostic poem)

Image: iwc.com/content/dam/homepage/october-7-2021/blueangels_mood_def_lowWEB-desktop.jpg.transform.article_image_335_2x.jpeg

Whistling away the boredom while looking at His wrist

As He waited for the seconds to tick by

The time was coming when all Hell will be unleashed

Creating a new reality that He would use to remake the world in His image

He smiled.  Soon He would do more than just …

List (an acrostic poem)

Image: how-to-draw-funny-cartoons.com/images/cartoon-list-005.jpg

Looking at everything to do in front of me,

It gets overwhelming and I begin to sweat.

So how do I attack such a formidable task

The only thing I can think of is start a new …

Lunch (an acrostic poem)

Looking at his sandwich, he wondered if there was a better way

Unless sliced bread was the height of sandwich technology

Now he pulled out notebook and began drawing diagrams and writing notes

Completing one design before discarding it for the next, and after some time many pages were filled with scribbles

However, soon the clock told him to go back to work, and the sandwich was still there, taunting him

Lens (an acrostic poem)

Looking through the telescope

Everything looks so much closer

Nothing is beyond his ability to observe

So the only reason he stopped was because the police knocked

Sell (an acrostic conversation)

“So I heard you are looking for a thing.”

“Everyone is looking for a thing.  Can you be more specific?”

“Listen, if I tell you more the price is going to quadruple.  So what do you say?”

“Let me think about it.”

Tribe (an acrostic poem)

Image: interculturalist.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/intercultural-friends.jpg

They were always looking for a place to settle down in

Running was so tiring, and the souls of their shoes were getting holey

It would start with that awkward silence that announced the countdown to launch

But this time there was no moment of quiet in the cacophony of laughter

Everyone deserves to find where their weird is the normal, and that’s how they knew they found their people, their…

Funny (an acrostic poem)

Furiously looking for the punchline

Underneath the dross of reality

Nothing there could tease an honest chuckle out of his lips

Nothing warmed his shivering cold soul

Yet his comedy gave the world what he could never have

Replaced (an acrostic poem)

Image: santeehistoricalsociety.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/help-transparent-wanted-1-1024×537.png

Reading through the want ads looking for something to do.

Everyone wanted experience, and I haven’t done the time.

Perhaps in the past I would have lied and tried my best.

Learning what I could before I was given my parole.

And applying that knowledge to the next economic sentence.

Can’t believe no matter where I go, there I would chains waiting.

Eventually the robots will come and take all of it away.

Destroying our way of life and setting us free, but to do what?

Slip (an acrostic poem)

Image: lesschwab.com/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-LesSchwabLibrary/default/dwd46d47e4/images/learningCenter/article/hero/HeroArticleDriveSafelyOnIceDesktop_2048.jpg

Sliding down the road

Looking for traction among the glittering ice

Invoking different deities for divine intervention

Pounding to a stop in a snowbank ends the wild ride

Glum (an acrostic poem)

Image: writervsworld.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/words1.jpg

Going to give all the words a spin

Looking for the ones that will stick together in a creative way

Under such an scrutiny the words flee from my internal dictionary

Making me feel rather…
