optimist - acrostic
Open up the book
Page one, neutralize your thoughts
Turn the page
Induct elation
Make your temperament positive
Idealism
See the prism of sanguinity
Turn the page
============================================
aqua - acrostic
Arid soul washed away
Quietly sinking down
Underneath the waves to stay
Awakening as i drown
========================================
flaw - acrostic
Forget about the way we see
Looking past the shallow grey
Awaken to a deeper degree
We are all beautiful in our own way
=========================================
harm - acrostic
Hurt me, the pain will go away
All anguish is fleeting
Remnants of your words might stay
My heart will go on beating
====================================
wolf pack - acrostic
Wild and free, nature's breed
Out of bounds of any containment
Living off of only what they need
Flourishing in sustainment
Prowling the forests and grass
Attacking only what they eat
Canids from our distant past
Killing only to replete
(i know i didn't use the word sustainment correctly here, but it rhymes)
==================================
jugs - acrostic poem
Jiggle and bounce for me
Underneath a cotton top
Gives me such satisfaction
Seeing them flip and flop
=================================
sympathy and attention - pity party poetry page
with an affinity for sympathy and attention
pity without empathy ends up as an affliction
sitting all alone having fits not fit to mention
depicting his own addiction to his self infliction
distemper words, written with intention
listless visions are a picture of his fiction
his existence isn't gifted within this dimension
it's a senseless decision to befit a contradiction
======================================================
discretion
if deception is a threat, i guess it begs the question
does perception get better with less discretion?
can a gesture of conception be answered best with ingestion
by letting down our guards will we fester in suppression?
changing our direction away from our debts of reception
pressed by our expression of protested progression
best bets are guessed and when we collect we learn a lesson
back to the question, is perception better with less discretion?
====================================
rhyme without reason
what is a rhyme without a reason?
it's no feat to beat the drum of no cohesion
it's like planting seeds that aren't in season
or a disease that leaves a bleeding lesion
a decent poet is adept at seeing adhesion
leaving the meaning amounts to being treason
completely missing pieces for completion
not even worth reading, only worth deletion
========================================
everlasting (4 versions)
though i have ran with the rats of cancer
as i craft the ladder to the final chapter
i never planned for crass disaster
abashed by the lasting factor
where the past is passing faster
i ask the lord and await his answer
are my chances granted to live hereafter
i clasp the hand of the everlasting master

(you can also do one of these)
where the past is passing faster
i ask the lord and await his answer
are my chances granted to live hereafter

you can make different versions of everlasting, with different shapes, and different flows by changing the lines around...some of the shapes look cool if the poems are centered also...i had a blast doing this!
