Itch (an acrostic poem)

I just wanted to scratch it

Though I knew it would just make it worse

Causing me more suffering in the long run

Hard to find relief

Bet (an acrostic poem)

Being a gambler didn’t come easy for Stephen

Every time he put his chips down he was sure it would be his last

That’s why it was a relief when the casino kicked him out for winning too much

Explore (an acrostic poem)

Everything in this tomb reeked of antiquity

Xenon lamp in hand, Rachel peered closer to the relief

Pomegranates punctuated with palm fronds trialed to a sarcophagus

Lovingly she thought about her fame and how she kept this whole thing to herself

Oblivious to a small vibration that sent dust falling from the ceiling

Rachel went to leave, but the tunnel back was now blocked by a ton of stone

Eventually someone would find her remains there as well
