Searching for conspiracists to spread the word

To make sure the world knows the truths

Of mysteries and magic, of history and the future, of the real and the surreal

Rascals and damsels, princesses and princes, paupers and millionaires

You up for the challenge? All you need to join is to pick up a book and read.

Pick (an acrostic poem)

Playing acoustic guitar was so much fun

It gave him a way to relax and create

Couldn’t get into it tonight though

Knowing he needed to shake the bejesus out of his guitar to get out the damn …

Weight (an acrostic poem)

What seemed so light moments before threatened to pull her down into the depths of despair

Every time it happened it took so much strength to try to pick up the pieces and try to move on

It was no use. She broke.

Giving way to the gravity of it all, she sunk to the floor

Her eyes teared up, the heavy drops of water falling

They were children!

Fork (an acrostic poem)

Finding that there are two ways to go from here

Only can pick one branch to travel down

Reality was she didn’t feel ready to choose a path

Knowing that, she sat there and contemplated the…

Pick (an acrostic poem)

Putting her money where her mouth is was always difficult

It seemed easier to not think and go with her heart in those circumstances

Casting the dice down the green felted table, she closed her eyes

Knowing that whatever happened, her life was going to be changed forever

Tidy (an acrostic poem)

The mess isn’t going to pick itself up, but

I really don’t care about it tonight

Deeming it a task for tomorrow

Yet I feel like tomorrow will be a callback to tonight

Yarn (an acrostic poem)

Yearning to wear soft cashmere sweaters

Asking others to make them for me seems silly since I could make one

Reaching for my knitting needles I start my first stitch

Now after five hours, and not getting past stitch three, I pick up the phone and call…

Know deep down that it is okay to fail sometimes

It will happen, and all you can do is pick yourself up and go on

Need help doing so?  Ask for it.  No one is so good they don’t need help

Don’t beat yourself up about it, and share that same grace with others

Shoe (an acrostic poem)

So many options to pick from, Dan pondered his choices

High tops, cowboy boots, moccasins, loafers

Or sandals, flip-flops, or maybe his purple Crocs

Eveline slipped on her sensible clack flats and left. 

She wasn’t going to be late to the party.  Men!

Pipe (an acrostic poem)

 

Perhaps smoking wasn’t the best thing for Marcus’ health

It definitely meant cutting his life significantly shorter

People had warned him not to pick up the habit

Except being a dragon hunter paid so well.
