Birthday Camping Dad

a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z

A birthday camping

Dad enjoying friends,

Good health indeed.

Joking, keeping lively...

Most noble occasion.

Peaceful, quiet, retreat.

Surprise! The unseen

visible, wrappings 'xposed...

your Zamboni.*

* It should be noted that this is not a cop-out word. My Dad is legitimately obsessed with these ice-smoothing-Uhalls and to call his present one is like calling the fishing we did utterly enjoyable.

Deep description

a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z

Amature and actual authors all agree,
basic, but beautiful,
creatively crafted compositions,
develop deep, dramatic descriptions.

Each enticingly engages
five fully felt,
God "goose-bump" given,
human heart having,
intensely incarnate impulses:

Jaw-jolting juxtapositions, juicy Jesus!
Keen Kahlil knowledge kabobs, kissable key-
lime "Louis L'amour" lemon littérature, lovely!
Macbeth’s murderous melon-munching madness, marvelously manuscripted.

Now notice Nash's nascent nasal nudgings,
offering Ogden's olfactory-opening opinions.
Port-Royal’s prince Pascal presents pleasant philosophical potpourri.
Qoheleth's queen quietly quaffs quizzical quotes...

Rustle, rustle… recognize Rice's rarely read rom-antics?
Shakespear’s slyly scripted sonnet seductions...
Tennyson’s tenderly transcribed taboo touches...
Updike's ugly undulating undressings?
Virginia's voiceless virile verse,
Woolf's whispers, which when written would wield:
- X X X -
Yikes! You're young yet,
zipper, zip zip!

Portland

It was really hard to write this without being able to mention microbrews, coffee or bicycles!

Progressive organic recyclers, treehugging liberal alternatives... nature domestics.
Oregon's rare treasure; like a non-dairy parfait!
Recreational trekkers, living as non-damn-profit organizers.
Trimet's loop amazes newbies downtown, pure Oregonian remarkableness.
Laughing at Newt, deploring Palin, Obama's real teammates!
Add novel displaced programs, our retail taxless life,
Now discover Powell's or Ringside, turn left and
Dazzling parks open right through living arboreal neighborhoods....
Pristine, oasic rebel town; literally adventurers' now descendants.

Thinking

So I was a little slow to realize that if I just added another line to the end of my 'across the top, down the side, within each line' format, then it would actually make a full square. The first letters of the last word of each line also spell out the topic (across the top, down both sides, within every line, and along the bottom). So in honor of such a though, here is thinking...

To hold in new knowledge is not good.
However, I needlessly kill ideas, not going through.
"It's nonsense, kiddie imaginings, nobody's got time, hush."
No, keep inventing new grand thoughts, however insane.
Kindred intellects never guessed their honors issued now:
Isamov's novels, Gandhi's talks, Hertz' inventions, Newton's kinetics...
Now go think heroically, igniting never kindled intentions,
Growing that hibernating intellect now kinetically invigorated, nimble!
Then humbly issue new knowledge improving next generations.

Democrat

Across the top, down the side, within each line.

D e m o c r a t D e m o c r a t D e m o c r a t D e m o c r a t D e m o c r a t
Defending equality (mainly opposing capitalistic republicans avoiding taxation),
Engaged municipalities, organized communities, rally all to Democrats!
Mr Obama's campaign revitalized America through democratic empowerment.
Obama's cabinet reflects Abe's theory; differences encourage moderation.
Corpus returned and torture deterred, enacting moral obligations.
Releasing awful techniques, diplomacy established mandatory over coercion.
A true democracy's efforts makes open communication reality,
Turning defense efforts mostly on country relations again.
