Noise (an acrostic poem)

Notes played from the strings and brass floated

Over the timpani and xylophones being hammered at

It was then that the woodwinds began to wail

Sending each section into a race to match their bravado

Eventually, the conductor silenced them.  She knew the first day in an orchestra as new musicians could be… trying

Harp (an acrostic conversation)

“How much do I hate you?  Let me count the ways.”

“As if you can complain.  I’m the best thing for you.”

“Really?  That’s about as offkey of a response as I can imagine.”

“Perhaps, but I am secure in my knowledge that I know how to pull your strings.”

Web (an acrostic poem)

Weaving her way along the internet

Entombing data to feast on later

Behaving like she is pulling the strings

Grace (an acrostic poem)

Given freely, with no strings attached

Reaching out without expectations of reparations

Acting when the opportunity arises

Caring about the person no matter the differences

Engaging each other as brothers and sisters

Grace (an acrostic poem)

Given freely without strings

Radical idea of respecting a person’s humanity

Allowing them space to make mistakes

Carrying them when they have fallen down

Enhancing both lives
