White Zinfandel sparkled in the glow of the fire

Its hints of sour apple and honey played with

Notes of pine and citrus. The calming taste helped with her stress level

Especially needed since she was watching her house burn

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

Soup (an acrostic poem)

Slurping the yummy broth made her taste buds dance

Oregano and tomato played the bass notes

Under the delightful melody of lemon zest high notes

Pasta applying the percussion on her tongue

Dance (an acrostic poem)

Deep bass notes punctuated the melody

Announcing it was time to get up

Nascent instincts awaken and bodies begins to move

Creating a kinetic ephemeral work of art

Even though some of the pieces need some tweaking

Deadline (an acrostic poem)

Didn’t you know it?  This was going to go down to the wire

Every word was being counted, but the paper still wasn’t long enough

And he still had to organize his bibliography

Disheveled notes cluttered the floor beneath his desk

Littered with disparate ideas he was trying to weave into a coherent narrative

It almost made him cry when he thought of it.

Not getting it done would make him cry even more, though, so he kept typing

Eventually, he submitted it and began to pray.  It was late, but maybe Doc wouldn’t notice
