Raise the top part of the dwelling
Or the outer ceiling, the outer ceiling, the outer ceiling is on fire
Or that thing about a more folksy violinist on the shingles
For one last one, You’re what? Tin Parapet! Rusted!

City (an acrostic poem)
Canyons of concrete, glass, and steel define the urban landscape
Intense neon and fluorescent lights paint the scene in bright brash colors
That pulse with the heartbeat of the millions who live there
Yet she sat on the roof in the middle of it all, as alone as the moon that traveled overhead
Roof (an acrostic poem)
Resting in your bed, you look up
Overhead you have shelter
Outside is kept in its place
For that, you can be grateful

Super (an acrostic poem)
Suddenly Marvin had a panic attack
Under his calm exterior, his emotions were surging
Perplexed at how his luck had turned so quickly
Eyesight grew dark around the edges as his pulse went through the roof
Reacting to winning the lottery shouldn’t be this stressful

Burnout (an acrostic poem)
Before the roof collapsed in, scattering shards of flame high into the night
Uncle Raymond removed the last of his pets, a goldfish named Mikey
Rachel laughed that Mikey was swimming in Uncle Raymond’s snow boot
“Nifty Idea?” he asked holding up his prize. “It was the only thing I could grab to use.”
Olivia, Raymond’s second wife could only cry silently as the sirens cried aloud
Until that moment, Rachel though everything would be okay, just like Mikey
That changed as Olivia’s tears fell to the parched earth
Never Short On Words
