Wish (an acrostic poem)

What would I do if I found a genie in a bottle?

I would ask for three simple things.

Something that would make you smile, something to make you think, and something to give you peace.

Hope by you reading this some of it came true.

Finding it amusingly ironic

If you really think about it

Value signifies a quintuple of things

Except the word only has four letters

Mystery (an acrostic poem)

Maybe you think you know what is going on

You think you have the solutions to life’s final exam

Still I wonder if the answer key has even been made yet

There seems so much chaos and disorder

Every time I turn around, I find that my current guess was not quite right

Really most of the time I was flat out wrong.  It gets quite frustrating

Yet still every day I get up and try to solve my little corner of life’s …

Crab (an acrostic poem)

Cuddly was not an adjective used to describe Timmy

Rarely was he not bellyaching or griping about something

And even though you would think he had a hard shell he was really a softy

Because of that people would just devour him when the season was right

Down (an acrostic poem)

 

Don’t try to cheer me up

Oh you might think I would want that

When in reality I’m okay with being a bit blue

Now if you threw in ice cream….

Splash (an acrostic poem)

 

So you think you’re a real big deal?

Perhaps you’re right, but to me you are just meh

Love to hear that?  Well get used to it

As you can’t seem to find the words to express yourself

So tell me princess, do you like feeling like you’re a fish out of water?

Here’s to trying to figure out how to stand on your own two feet

Duh (an acrostic poem)

 

Didn’t think he would say that

Under normal circumstances, I would be amazed

Here and now, it seems par for the course

Penny (an acrostic poem)

Perhaps it is beneath your attention

Every cent counts in the long run, though

Now you might not think too much of your copper buddy

Never picking him up when he’s on the ground

Yet imagine the number of thoughts you didn’t buy because of it

Yawn (an acrostic poem)

You would think your body could handle it

And it might have if you had slept last night

Why else would you be sitting there with your mouth wide open

Now you get to explain it to your blind date

Yearn (an acrostic poem)

You always wanted to do that

Even though you were worried about what people would think

And maybe that was part of the appeal

Risqué behavior does have a certain je ne sais quoi

Nonetheless, you won’t act on your desire
