Coagulated soymilk


This blubbery curd
Of
Fermented beans is often
Used as a source of protein.

Do take stock.

Bon mot


Playful wording that’s
Used in jest
Nourishes readers; they
Swallow it best.

For Mr. P’s class at Roosevelt Elementary.

Bumbershoot


Under a
Moist and murky sky, colorful
Bursts repel the
Rain and those who carry them
Enjoy a dry and sometimes a lovely,
Leisurely stroll, until a gust
Lifts them
Away and folks are
Soaked the rest of the day.

Archosaurs


Beginning as a feathered dinosaur,
Its cousin is the crocodile; a
Reconstructed genome shows this
Discovery in
Scientific style.

We can decide


Almond-shaped, this
Mechanism of
Yours and mine
Gets quite a workout in
Dire times; what if we could
All agree to
Live more
Above, in the PFC?

Crowning touch


Hats and
Ethnic kinds of wear
Are often
Decorative,
Denoting ceremonial
Rites; they poignantly
Express traditions,
Symbolizing beauty,
Strength, and pride.

Gobble!


Gastric mills
In the digestive tract
Zig and
Zag bird food, but since today
A turkey won’t need it, it’s
Rendered
Delectable and good.

Fair share


Fuel for healthy function is an
Obvious necessity; most
Organisms eat according to their
Designed capacity.

Women, for eons


Caterers devoted to this
Occupation
Offer sundry
Kitchen creations.

Sometimes


Academically
Doing sums might help
Develop reading skills;
Involving
Tales
In solving problems could
Offer
Numeric reading thrills.

Rings true


BIG
Is not an attribute here,
Just elegant and tasteful
On a smaller scale; imagine its
Use in fairy tales.

Foot in mouth? Mouth in foot?


Rows of tiny teeth
Are like a rasp,
Designed to scrape
Up food that
Lies in snail’s path like
A super-fast magic act.

Sense of humor?


Just
A little jest is
Playful
Enough a test.

POP! goes the wee cell


A
Programmed death
Of cells, via (for now) two
Pathways, helps scientists
Tell just how important to
Our body’s
Systems
Is this “falling off” –
So we don’t even miss them.

Thanks for the word, Eric A. Thanks for the title, Michael W.

Yee-haw celebration


Havin’
One
Of those
Thingamajigs at an
Event of
Nonstop toe-tappin’
And folk-singin’, why, it was like a
Noisy
New
Year’s Eve on TV.

Thanks for the word, Emma G.

Kind of dish; it is

Nifty way to serve one wish.

Is help
Delivered without hesitation.

Thank you, Veterans!

Rapid


Speedy and immediate,
Whether on the ground or
In flight, such movement, to
Follow it, baffles
The power of sight.

Thanks for the word, Bryan G.

HIS playground


Because he is so
Unhinged, this
Ludicrous narcissist
Leader has these past
Years caused many to cringe.

Playing the part


People’s behavior
Evokes a particular
Role played in
Society,
One that might
Not be
Authentic personality.

Midterm


Everyone who
Likes to have a voice,
Everyone who honors
Choice must
Take this opportunity for
Input in
Our
Nation’s democracy.

The most insidious ‘rigging’ that occurs in an election is legislation passed by fellow citizens that purposely disenfranchises groups of American voters.

“Please vote for candidates who value honesty over bluster, compromise over ego, and society over self."
Thank you, Rose A., for the quote.

Donning a bib


Of all the gruesome,
Greedy beasts, this one
Really
Enjoys his human feasts.

Inspired by a storytelling event.

Soon


As this
Nation waits
To see,
In super-charged expectancy, if
Congress will
In time
Progress to
A
Truer, fairer democracy,
It must remember to be aware
Of
Negative influences everywhere.

Heating the debate


Fueling divisiveness among
Our nation’s voters,
Mean-educated hotheads are
Expert gloaters; they’re
Naturally myopic in
Their field of floaters.

Long overdue


Birthday wishes
Expressed weeks
Later
Are
The regret of
Every
Doomed procrastinator.

Fiction


New and lengthier prose
Of relatable events are
Violin bows that
Elicit vibrations in the
Literate soul.

Page 2 of the following link refers to Stendhal’s quote in “The Life of Henry Brulard” about a novel being like violin bow. I found this simile while researching the history of today’s acrostic word.
