Acrostics Du Jour
ACROSTICS DU JOUR
ODIS
Once upon a very sad time,
Disappointment crossed my hapless mind.
Instead of thinking that would be fine,
Someone gave me this dog to walk behind.
SUZANNE
Supple and sweet within my reach
Under starry skies or sandy beach
Zigzagging memories across my heart
Another moment and we will part.
Now I’m alone and she’s not here.
Nothing I can do will soothe this fear,
Each separation starts it all over again.
RAIN
Releasing torrents of the wet
Allowing the dirt no time to set.
Increasing the patter on the ground
Nothing but sunshine will stop the sound.
CANDY
Crunchy or gooey in the mouth
Always a favorite in the North or South.
Never enough to satisfy your insatiable hunger,
Destroyed your teeth when you were younger.
Yesterday or tomorrow, the outcome’s the same.
FAT
For ever and ever those inches abound,
Around your waist you deposit that pound.
This can be reversed, just walk the ground.
DOORS
Doors have only two functions in this world.
One side keeps the world out, the
Other side lets the world in.
Regardless of your choice, it’s easy to
See, neither one is without sin.
BUMPS
Before road graders things were not smooth.
Unless at the beach or on the enamel of a tooth.
Man gets exhausted keeping things on a flat plane.
Perfectly smooth so boring, like riding a windowless train.
Savor the ups and downs, it stimulates the brain.
AROMAS
Among the many morning scents,
Ranking as first and here’s a hint.
Other than gas this too comes to from a bean.
Many can smell it and not be seen.
Armed with a jolt those jitters dissipate
Surely God made it for us, isn’t coffee great.
