Certainly this

Unique, five-year-

Long project with

My muse has been

Insightful and delightful, but

Now I choose

A different way

To play with words.

It’s another climb and that’s

Okay. Signed, with love, the Acrostics

Nerd.

Many thanks to all who have inspired me and shared new words with me for this project.

One's thumbs

Twirl that inner

Wildness

Into slow idle

Diddling;

Do your best to

Let it rest.

Enjoy your pensive fiddling.

Undulations

Sonic waves wash

Over

Us. It’s

Never seen, that

Deluge.

One minute

Springing into a speedy

Pace the

Racers dash

In a math paper blur,

Now placing

Their pencils down.

Versatile material

Papyrus and other kinds of pulp

And water

Provide for writing, wrapping,

Even trapping (flies), as well as elegant

Room divides.

Another look

Reach for

Eloquence;

View again

Initial drafts,

Seeking to

Excel in your verbal craft.

Making a rain stick

Squeeze and pinch –

Quite gently –

Until the eighteen

Inches of foil are

Now a silver snake all

Coiled inside a roll;

Hear the shhhh of the rain you control. 

Thank you, Jess D., for the inspiration. You and your class totally rock!
