Review (an acrostic poem)

Reading books was always a chore for Melonie

Every page was a struggle for survival with respect to staying awake

Viewing the text made the words devolve into scribbles

It was enough to give her a migraine just thinking about it

Even the pages would cut the wafer-thin skin of her fingertips

When she finally was done, it was all worth it when she left a one-star …

Spicy (an acrostic poem)

She was so hot just sitting there

Piquant personality bubbling out of her

It made his head sweat just thinking of talking to her

Could he handle the heat?

Yet he knew he couldn’t resist the burn

Stakeholder (an acrostic poem)

Simple tasks for the minions, that was her motto

Too bad even that was too complicated for her underlings

As she watched her latest plan dissolve into dust

Killing a few of them would help with her anger

Eventually it might even teach them a lesson

However, that was wishful thinking

Overlords had it really tough these days

Looking over her monitors, she frowned

Didn’t having partners mean you work together?

Even as she fumed, her collaborator completed the task she had started

Really having allies suck, especially when they steal your evil schemes
