Copious clownfish crowded the reef

Organized chaos of shifting schooling patterns

Racing along the bright bony protrusions

As the sun lazily drifted down through the water

Lighting a piece of aquatic perfection

Thread (an acrostic poem)

Twisting herself into knots

Heather tried to bind her feelings

Reasoning while her life was unraveling

Enabled her to look at the patterns emerging

And stitch something together that was quite beautiful out of tragedy

Daring someone else to make it through the eye of her needle

Taste (an acrostic poem)

Tilly strutted around like a peacock in mating season

As she surveilled her realm, she smiled at everyone who stared

She had dressed in four different patterns and a riot of colors

To hell with the fashion police with their rigorous rules

Eight year olds made their own rules
