Growing a new future out of a cold wintery past

Reaching for the bright blue sky

Energy from the sun beating down on the newly born leaves

Enticing them to soak in all that they could

Nurturing them to express their vitality in a multitude of shades of…

Drape (an acrostic conversation)

“Do you prefer blinds or shades?”

“Really it’s a toss-up, though my cats prefer blinds”

“Ah, I see.  Is it because they love to peer through the slats?”

“People like to think that.  No, it’s because they like to break off the ends”

“Entropy and gravity.  The study of feline physicists everywhere.”

Write (an acrostic poem)

Words dribble out of my fingers

Raw unfiltered fragments of imagination

Incandescent with flashes of brilliance

Though often followed by long droughts of darkness

Engulfing everything in shades of mediocrity

Color (an acrostic poem)

Can’t see black and white

Or the subtle shades of gray

Look close at that rainbow

Orderly and vibrant

Resplendent in nuance

Moist (an acrostic poem)

Mile after mile spins by as I pump the pedals

Out of every pore pours the tears of exercise

I am covered in a river of exertion

Shifting the color of my shirt three shades darker with saturation

That’s without counting the humidity

Cast (an acrostic poem)

Concrete concepts about ethereal energies

Allowed Marcus to start to subtle shades of unseeable colors

So he sent his will into the void to draw a picture of what he wanted

The art bloomed into reality.  It was magical
