Story (an acrostic poem)

So what would you say if I told you that magic really does exist

That it surrounds you, but you don’t even notice it

Or that you probably have magic in your house right now

Really. Lean in close and let me tell you a secret

You only need to open a book and let it cast its spell on you

Spoons (an acrostic poem)

So far much can you handle today?

Perhaps it is one or two more than yesterday

Or maybe it is a half dozen less

Or maybe you threw them all in the wash and need to sit out a bit

Nobody can tell you how many you have at your disposal

So do what you can and know that it’s okay

Diet (an acrostic poem)

Don’t tell me what to eat.

I listen to what my body needs.

Everything in there is a well-oiled machine.

That’s the reason I consume all the French fries I can.

The Talk (an acrostic conversation)

There are times when a boy and a girl love each other.

Hey Dad, you don’t need to go there.

Every dad has to.  It’s an oath we give at the hospital before taking you home.

They were lying to you, Dad.  I’m all set.

And how would you know you are all set?

Look, do you want me to tell you what I know?

Kill me now!

Woods (an acrostic “groanversation”)

“Where be the trees?  I cannot see them because of this forest!”

“Oy vey!  I should have known you would branch down that path.”

“Okay, I see your timber, but don’t worry.  I’m not going to leaf you there.”

“Don’t go farther.  My bark is worst than my bite and I am getting pretty hungry.”

“So I shouldn’t tell you about how thicket’s getting around here?”

Distant (an acrostic conversation)

 

Don’t know how to tell you this.

If you don’t know how then just blurt it out like you usually do

See, we have been so close for so long

That’s an understatement.  We’ve been married for twenty-two years

And in all that time I feel we’ve been growing apart

Not this again.  What did you do this time?

That’s something I only would tell my friends

Tell (an acrostic poem)

The story rang across the countryside

Everyone was soon discussing what had happened

Leaving the two parties that were at the heart of the tale fuming

Looking for who broke the silence

Fourth Wall (a 50 word story)

“Break the fourth wall in your life,” Sam said.  “Go out and talk to those that are watching you.  Engage them.  Learn something more about your life and world.”

“That sound like great advice,” Bert said.

Bert turns to you.  “So what about it, reader?  What can you tell me?”
