Foul Deeds
Moment of Silence Acrostic Poem
Silent stench of carcass
In the garden, midst dead weeds
Lingers, bares our most foul deeds
Embracing man’s succumbing ways
Nourishing his path to mortal fray
Calculating impending hell in
Elements of evil’s spell

elegy for an unborn daughter
in my dreams, I have a daughter. she has my smile, warm and stretching across her cheeks like it will burst. she has her father’s eyes—soft and gentle—and his laugh. she is perfect. I give her a beautiful name, and she is everything I wish for her to be. she is curious, always asks questions and tries new things and lives without my fear of failure; she is generous, never selfish, but builds firm boundaries; she shows kindness to each soul she meets. I teach her everything my parents taught me. she learns how to read, to escape into a story and to write her own. she learns how to proof a loaf of bread, how to cut butter into flour and dust berries in flour before adding them to batter. she learns how to love, how to be loved. her life is beautiful, free from worry and filled with joy.

Yoikes! Great rhythm, Cindy. I enjoyed the rhyming ones like yours! 😃 👏
This was so dark, I loved it!
Oooh! Dark and eerie! Very well done, Cindy!
Great, I have AC/DC in my head now 😄 Brilliant poem, I could feel that cloying stench (what a great word) on my skin and nostrils!
Interesting, Cindy. Still thinking about it.
This was so dark and poignant. I absolutely loved it!
Interesting in a weird way. Good work in a way.
Fun
Nice article
Ah, bone chills! Silent as a graveyard... is what this makes me think of. Good job spooky friend!
Oh snap! I fear that is not just a dead rodent in the garden! I love your word choices, Cindy! "Nourishing his path to mortal fray." Wow, nice.
Oooh that's a good one.
Incredible work.
Blimey. This was menacing!
The pain of destruction equips with knowledge.
Whoa, a different presentation of the place we don't want to be. The silence and desolation are poignant.
