Dominic looked at his fouled sneakers

It had started so simply that morning

Snuggling in his warm covers as the sunlight crept into the window

Getting up he put on his running gear and headed out to the trail

Under the red and orange leaves he began to jog

Soon his breath was ragged as he pushed himself harder and farther

That was when he felt that dreaded hard intestinal clenching

It made him stop and look around, but there were people everywhere

Now he tried to walk back, but about half way there he lost the battle

Giving the term “the runs” an added meaning

Melt (an acrostic poem)

Majestic sunlight splashed into puddles beneath the lush green canopy

Everything here was damp or wet from the extreme humidity

Locals here didn’t have a word for dry. There was no need

That’s why when his cousins from Iceland came to visit they would …

Meadow ( an acrostic poem)

 

Meandering through the tall grass

Enjoying the soft sunlight trickling from the cloud speckled sky

All while admiring the punches of flowery color

Dotting the serene landscape

Overhead hawks played among the updrafts

Winding down a perfect day

Furry (an acrostic poem)

 

Fraser combed his arm hair against the grain

Unleashing waves of golden amber hair to crash back upon hardened muscle

Rays of sunlight danced upon the same golden coat covering his back

Really he figured he should shave some of it off

Yet there was the fun of the mystique of being part werewolf that he enjoyed

Shade (an acrostic poem)

 

So everyone turned to Clarice after Bob’s anonymous claim of infidelity

His smug smile staining the words even more

As Clarice’s spirit dimmed further under her friends’ looks of surprise and horror

Didn’t they understand the darkness she lived in?

Everyone should have a chance of finding a bit of sunlight, shouldn’t they?

Homework (an acrostic poem)

Heaving the heavy books onto the table

Outside the sunlight laughed at my predicament

My soul screamed back in anguish

Eventually the book opened

Work commenced

Order returned until…

Rays of sun played across my piece of paper

Killing what was left with my resolve, so I went outside to bury it

Night (an acrostic poem)

Now as the sunlight faded, her primal emotions rose up within

Instincts kicked in, sending her towards home

Going as fast as she could while the nocturnal awoke around her

Hoots and howls, coupled with leaves rustling from passing animals

To think, this wasn’t a forest but Brooklyn

Shade (an acrostic poem)

Seeking islands of shadow to slip into

Hiding from the shower of drenching sunlight

Aware that my safe harbor is evaporating

Due to the approach of high noon

Eventually I must attempt to swim home or drown in myself

Camp (an acrostic poem)

Cold sunlight peeking over the horizon

Azure water mirroring the awakening sky

Me in my hammock on this little porch

Perfection in my little getaway
