Fierce (an acrostic poem)

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread was his favorite proverb

It encapsulated his life in ways that spanned from ludicrous to profound

Ever since he was a boy, he would do the near impossible, twist fate into pretzels, and never miss a beat

Reveling in the audacity of the chaos he spread around like seeds from a dandelion caught in a tornado

Could do no wrong, and it was just the way of the universe

Evidently when you held your guardian angel hostage, you could ever be the fool, but were you?

Finding memories strewn along the river of life

Only they were not yours, but do you really care?

Remembering things that were almost true, but with a twist

Generating new recollections resonating inside your head

Echoing emotional reverberations

That fade to black as you wake up and begin to …

Keeping with the weird down under thing

In comes a fruit with hair that tastes kind of like a strawberry with a tropical twist

With a skin that could use a bit of a shave, while that isn’t too freaky

It was the fact you can eat the hairy part that made me shudder

Feeling like a coin spinning through the air

Listing endlessly from heads to tails and back again

It makes for an uncomfortable situation and fills those around you with apprehension.

Perhaps instead of chocolate or vanilla soft serve,  you might settle on your edge, twist!

Debut (an acrostic poem)

Danny watched as the curtain went up on opening night

Everything should run smoothly.  They had rehearsed it for months

But not five minutes in a rope broke and part of the scenery randomly changed

Unveiling the plot twist that no one knew they were not expecting

There goes the five star reviews!

Curb (an acrostic poem)

Cutting the powder with confectioner’s sugar was risky

Uncouth dealers are the norm, but me, I have leveled up

Risk verses reward, it’s all about the bottom line

But my sweet twist this time might get me kicked to the ….
