My Improbable Valentine
It is my good fortune to see this lovely woman almost every day. She slices turkey and ham, and I slice tomatoes, and we work across from each other in a gigantic kitchen, preparing foodstuffs for airport restaurants.
Her name is Kendra, and somehow it has become part of our workday to say “It’s good to see you” to each other, first chance we get. Yesterday there was more, though. I told her that for Valentine’s Day I was offering custom Valentine poems to any of my female Facebook friends who wanted one. Kendra smiled and suggested that I do one for her.
So yesterday I did. Here’s what she pulled out of the envelope on her break today:
Inside is a custom-made Valentine poem:
K is for Keeping your calm in the storm
E is your Eyes so dark-chocolatey warm
N is for Numinous–magical, bright
D is Delightful, a so-welcome sight
R is your Rich Voice of velvet and sun
A is Adorable–you’re #1!!!
And, you know, Friends, she does, they are, she is, she is, it is, and she is. This is one of the easiest Acrostics I have ever written. The words just leaped out as I thought of my friendly, consummately professional, drop-dead-gorgeous co-worker, of whom I am quite fond.
PS–she kind of liked the poem. 🙂
Valentine
To the woman of my daydreams
Velociraptors won’t be welcome here
And Cupid, don’t be stupid, don’t step in
Let’s let our love be natural this year
Enjoying warmth, not frenzy. Let us spin
Nice fluffy yarns where truest fondness wins
Tenacity and real respect hold sway
Intrinsic passion plays with easy grins
Next baby steps are taken, and we say
Each minute gently counts this special day.
BRRRR
B is for Bravery facing the elements
R is Reflection on good times indelible
R also Raconteur seizing tale filaments
R is the Race to the End-Tale that’s tellable
R we emotional? Tear ducts are wellable.

Work Dash Load
It’s been a long time since I did illustrated acrostic poetry on a regular basis. I am rusty. But with more tries per week I will get better.
Work, Dash, and Load are all both nouns and verbs. And make of the Dash a symbol and it becomes a hyphen for Work-Load, a measure of effort-responsibility. We all have our Work-Loads to bear and dispatch; we are all workers. Even comedians work a crowd. 🙂

Work Dash Load
When there’s Endeavor there’re tales to tell
Of grind & frustration & Heaven and Hell–O
Revamping redressing on land & at sea
Keep promise & hope though there’s PTSD
****
PTSD stands for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Everyone has had it, but true and faithful Soldiers of all callings, who care the most, are most susceptible. Let us all strive to help those who suffer thus.
