Hope?

Glimpsing a bit of

Light

In these

Moments may help us

Make a more

Equitable

Road.

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.
