Document (an acrostic poem)

Didn’t read the fine print of the contract

Of course that’s how a lot of these stories start

Catch 22’s galore in the legalese that no one can decipher

Unless you are a lawyer, and even then you have to be speak a dialect of Parseltongue

Making the rest of the tale about maneuvering out of the inevitable

Enabling our hero to have the last laugh

Now only if that worked in real life

Then I would be so done with these student loans

Cast (an acrostic poem)

Character acting her way through life

Anyone who knew her would find out they didn’t really know her

She was that good at putting on a performance

The only thing that was real was her curtain call

Magnify (an acrostic conversation)

“More sun, more ants., more fire  More sun, more ants, more fire!”

“And you say you don’t have anger issues?”

“Give me a break.  At least I’m not trying to fry you.”

“Nope, just innocent creatures going on their merry way”

“If it makes you feel any better, these are the ones that ruined your picnic”

“For real?  How do you know?”

‘You look up close.  They’re still suffering from the epic heartburn”

Best (an acrostic poem)

Image: s.yimg.com/aah/sportsawards/blue-ribbons-23.png

Being top dog was what she had strived for all her life

Except now she wondered about what the pole position cost her

So she decided that being number one in society wasn’t that important

That being amazing at being herself was worth the real blue ribbon

Splash (an acrostic poem)

 

So you think you’re a real big deal?

Perhaps you’re right, but to me you are just meh

Love to hear that?  Well get used to it

As you can’t seem to find the words to express yourself

So tell me princess, do you like feeling like you’re a fish out of water?

Here’s to trying to figure out how to stand on your own two feet

Trial (an acrostic poem)

Tribulations were the least of Lydia’s worries

Racing against the end of days was a real thing

If she was successful, everyone would survive

And if she failed, well, that really wasn’t an option

Lifting her eyes to seek whatever divine help she could she entered the fray

Tread (an acrostic poem)

The sensation of someone’s foot stomping down on her was all too real

Reducing her to a bundle of pulsating overstimulated nerves

Even getting out of bed on those days was met with dread

And yet she kept working on surviving day after day

Damned if she wasn’t willing to bite back

King Me (an acrostic poem)

Keeping on top was always Bob’s goal

It allowed him to jump over the obstacles in his way

Now the playing field was empty of most of the chafe

Giving Bob a clear idea of who is real competition was

 

Moving diagonally, he finally found his home

Enabling him to kick it to the next level

Yawn (an acrostic poem)

You know you’re tired when…

All you can think about is closing your eyes, but you’re driving

Walking along the sidewalk and you wonder if sleepwalking is a real thing

Not being able to talk because your mouth is wide open as you…

Numbers (an acrostic poem)

No matter how you calculated it, Deidre was in trouble

Unless she could find another way to figure it out

Many digits danced and twirled in front of her

But none of them sat still long enough for her to make them real

Everything was just irrational to her at that moment

Really she just wanted to be done and have a piece of pie

So she left the equation to solve itself and had dessert
