Coal (an acrostic poem)

Chucking the little black nuggets onto the embers of the fire and soon they burst into flame

Outputting more heat to warm up the chilly cabin

And to think people called him a dinosaur when he burnt his favorite fuel

Look, he was just freeing his spiritual ancestors’ souls in exchange for warmth

Bloom (an acrostic poem)

 

Burst forth from a cocoon of protective smothering

Lift your face to feel the warmth of the sun

Open yourself to those around you

Only then will you reach your full potential

Making the world more beautiful because of who you are

Cute (an acrostic poem)

Cuddling her close, Derrick enjoyed her warmth

Under his light touch, she purred with pleasure

The night was young and the two of them were curled up on the couch together

Even though Derrick was allergic, he still loved his kitty

Help (an acrostic poem)

Homeless ideas huddle together for warmth

Engaging in witty banter about absolutely nothing of import

Laughing at the ridiculousness of my situation

Perhaps that is why I am panicking right now

Solstice (an acrostic poem)

Softly the darkness rained down

Obscuring the distance

Leaving me feeling lonely and lost

Still I pressed onward

Trying to find a place of warmth

I thought I saw a flicker in the distance

Coming closer I felt hope grow

Eventually the light bloomed
