I love to see the
Minds inner workings
Alike to a flower opening so we
Gain new perspectives, new
Insights into other people's thoughts
Not very often, in my case
As I have been silent for
Too long. But now I am
In a place where I have the
Opportunity to let my mind free
No shackles, no limits!
PROSPERITY
People love making money
Ridiculous
Over-indulgences
Show that
Price doesn't always
Equal taste, that
Rate of pay
Is no indication of
The worth of a person
Yet so many seem to think so
Zootalaws;
Like to see new poems
In my acrostic thread
Killer imagination roams.
Eventually put to bed.
Prosperity discussed rationally
Offends only the materialistic
Erudition used notionally
Makes points that stick,
Stay with me emotionally

As the founder of this thread
Can you take a bow?
Reading the posts on here
Offered my strangely-formed brain an outlet
Suffice it to say that I have become an acrostic devotee
To the delight of my wife, a primary school teacher
"I teach those to 5 year olds" she crows.
Couldn't care less. I am enjoying myself
(but I really need to bring more 'poetry' to my prose!)
"I shall always feel respect for every one who has written a book, let it be what it may, for I had no idea of the trouble which trying to write common English could cost one—And alas there yet remains the worst part of all, correcting the press.' Charles Darwin
Morbid fascination stirs
Effervescent spume of imagination
Nary a one knows what I'm thinking
Disdain nods its head, concurs.
After what happened, it's my right
Cheap excuses bind my angel in subjection
I hold the glass up, without drinking, in sardonic
Toast to my own malignant dexterity
Your demon capers and grins, with mine confers.
Will you ever write a story for which no character will have cause to reproach you? (Stephen R. Donaldson: "The Creator" to Thomas Covenant)

Fast...
Oh my, that's fast!
Riding the curbs
My heart in my mouth
Unable to breathe
Like a fat man sitting on my chest
Arms feel like lead
On the hammer
No time to think
Exilerating!

My hero is Casey Stoner
On a bike he is second to none
To see him drift wide
On that Honda
Gives me the shivers
Perhaps he will be World Champion this weekend?

Nitromethane-powered
Hot rods scream by
Roaring sounds as
Air is blasted by speed
Tinkered-with transmissions
often tricked-out bodies
pulsing jets of flame
Fumes from smoking rubber
undertoned with combustion
engines exploding with horsepower
lightning harnessed
I have so many ideas
Many tried and failed
Against my fathers wishes
Getting lost in a daze
Inviting dreams and sorcery
Never giving up
Accepted into creative circles
Took me to a place
Imaginary and made up
Obviously it stayed with me
Needless to say my father lost
1st attempt at this so hope it works - quite enjoyed it actually
It works for me raunch. Besides I am sure this sort of playing around to make things fit has spin off when you comr to write other things.
