Try to know a little about a lot. Not a lot about little.
Ladies and Gents, my notifications aren't updating/refreshing, so for any likes or reposts you may have been lovely enough to bestow on my stuff today, I'd just like to say thank you; I'm not being...
Just as you think it's nice and quiet Along comes the boy to start up a riot Every time they've not got the kids Their relationship seems to hit the skids He's home this morning for they've had a...
Yes, it's an #acorn, but it's also a little clue to what I have in mind for Mondays #acrostic... Here's a tale of Igor, Dr.
We should be living. together. Instead we seem to live. apart. It seems that we. never. Have matching feelings in. our heart. You say potato, I say. to-may-to. Yet we pretend they're both. the same.
#acorns If you were here What would we do Stay with the old.
So you're leaving, now that the times are tough Can't handle it.
#FridayFun Crouched - in a hole, lone; death bullets circle his home. Child, stranger to calm. Fear - a common foe, That visits with every shot. Trapped, nowhere to go.
#4lines4fun #steak&bjday Hey babe, it's steak & BJ day. Don't you think you oughta. I ended up with a portion of chips And Mr Wiggly on bread & water....
#beginningline #nightdwellers. The moon lit up the cobbles on a starless pitch black night. A million sleeping hedgehogs with not a single spine in sight.
.
Sparked, and burning, a misty blue haze. Accompanying moods as I drift through the days. Lingering dreams cast a veil on my sight. As I lean back and stare through my murky worlds light.
I sat alone for hours. At the place you said to meet. By the Sunday morning market. An upturned crate my seat. I sat and stared for hours. As the workers made their way. Oblivious to the chapter.
I visit the same newsagent I see my mate Sanjay We have a chat about this and that And then I'm on my way Next door there's a charity shop Outside there are some bags Filled with things good people...

#acrostic Oi, Lee. D'ya want dinner today.
The dread writers block isn't something I suffer But it serves a purpose, it acts as a buffer For if your ideas are not quite so assured A chip off the block, and Hey Presto, you're cured.
Nobody knows me, not even me I'm the one running round shouting let me be free The truth is a different reality But I'll keep it inside, let nobody see I surprise myself with my state of...
Alaska in the morning then Hawaii this afternoon. Typical British bloody weather, wantonly changing tune. Winter woollies when I entered, I shall leave wearing far less.
#acrostic. Come to me, old enemy mine, I shall welcome you a while. Overdue, a chat with you; my behaviour you defile. Make me pay in every way for our antics through the night.
#acrostic Can you say you are complete.
Late for work this morning. But I don't really care. When I'm driving through Alaska. Instead of what's normally there. Snow devils swirling upwards. Whipped by wind, land on my face.
#acorns #lazyleelee I saw a sight that made me smile It was a bright red crocodile The strangest thing I'd ever seen I thought they were usually green Alright mate.
#acrostic. S ecrets and lies evolve, grow in size especially when there are family ties. E ven a secret you tell your best friend will be muddied and bloodied and leaked in the end.
#acrostic S o if activity's the key, can someone please tell me, when someone is prolific, how they drop.

#acrostic Take two people, lovers With a sense of together Inject kindness and patience Negativity.
Make everything perfect. On this, her special day. Treat her, give respect. Help her know a loving way. Every single moment. Remember why you're here. She's the one who made you.
#acrostic. Supposed to be so bright. Placing gladness in our hearts. Roll away the winter. It's here that new life starts. Never have I seen such a. Greyed and gloomy sky.
#FridayFun. It slides close to me, a chill wraps up my spine. A ghostly presence haunting me, clawing at my mind. It steps into my skin, looks out through my eyes.
#4lines4fun Here's a little poem Took about a minute About a green and waxy fruit And the tiny torch within it.

#internationalwomensday It's International Womens Day (•)(•) What more to say... Wa-hey!.
#acrostic How do you know how my day'll go. Or is it just a guess. Relay to me how good it'll be Or will it remain a mess.
#acorns. 12 new lines. I walk amid the lamplight. On these quiet city streets. I'll politely tip my hat. To strangers that I meet. But I only search for food. The liquid that I need.
In stories of old, you held my hand. We were new and bold, with nothing planned. I fell for you, through and through. With a hunger for the things you do. But not any more, it's cast aside.

#4lines4fun Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet Eating her curds and whey When along came a spider, that sat down beside her And she said, 'Bugger off hairy legs!'.
#4lines4fun. 'Get off!' she cried, 'For I just cannot stand. What the hell that it is that you've done to your hand'. Think yourself lucky I've not burst this blister.

#4lines4fun There once was a writer called Dick Who never finished a limerick It would all go just fine Until he reached the 5th line.
Sir Isaac Newton once said, 'Who the bloody hell threw that?' He also said, 'For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.' It's pretty quiet. The acrostic word is Melancholy.

#rant The biggest football match, yes it's Man U/Madrid tonight Someone I know will be there. Will he drive or take a flight. Will he take the new Range Rover, or jet to Manchester and back.
Take a bright but lonely star and put it gently in your pocket. Take a piece of clear blue sky and keep it safe within a locket. Take a freshly broken heart, gather its pieces, make them warm.

Wow. What a day for the acrostic challenge. I count 29 posts in all, every single one a belter in its own right. But I have had to charge my iThing three times today. Yes way. My poor phone.

Morning each. First off, thanks to @yamaarashi (and mum) for choosing my piece as their winner. Luvvly jubbly. So, to business. This time I want you to make where you live your acrostic word.

Here we go again. Bit of Saturday afternoon fun for us all. You know how to play, here's some lyrics...
#acrostic Slept in. Didn't want to go Caught the bus. Hoped it wouldn't show He's at the gate. Nice guy disguise Only popular through old school ties Overpowered. Led to the fence Length of twine.

#natureacrostic Scorch the Earth Until it's bled No more rain Land lies dead Is the hole in the sky Going to seal our fate. Humanity, as usual Too little, too late.

Ok last one for me tonight, so try this one on for size... 'Waiter.' That's it. First one in the comments gets it. Good luck!.
The second in a series to stave off Sienna's boredom. Here's the lyrics...
#acrostic. Stuck within the sunlight isn't where you want to be. Underneath your coffin lid is where you'll find safety. Never look for blood in the cold harsh light of day.
I'm not here for your entertainment I'm not even here for you I'm not here to bend over backwards As you always wanted me to I haven't come to apologise I haven't even come to pack I haven't come...
The missus likes to make a name. From her registration plate. Last one up was Diddikoi. You've been told of that ones fate. They've been varied, often strange. Sometimes easy, like FooFoo.
Where is everybody. Are you all still sound asleep. Has it suddenly become the trend to count some extra sheep. Do you shy away from daytime. Do you crumble in the light.
Followers, we need you.
Contains swearing. Surprisingly...

Chapter 2 Barely half an hour after his flat had hurled itself at him, James Bond found himself staring at the brass plaque inconspicuously bearing the legend 'Universal Exports'.
We'll take the morning by the hand. Though we're apart, I understand. I'll spend some time in wonderland. And dream a little dream of us. We walk alone, mid-afternoon.
#acrostic As the Music of the Night Makes me forget my plight Only you, Christine Untouched, pristine Really make my song take flight....
If you were served a burger made of non specific meat Would you bother even asking what's been killed to make your treat.

#sundayrepost. Found my soul this morning. Sitting on the side. Apparently in an iPhone app. What a place to hide. It told me it was in a rut. Underused in the main. All I needed was to write.

#sundayrepost. If you are happy. Content with it all. I'll put down the phone. And not wait for your call. If you decide. It isn't for you. You know where I am. And you know what to do.
A man walks into a pub and orders a pint. As he's sipping away at it, he takes in the interior, for it's his first visit. Where the toilets are, do they do food, the donkey... The donkey.
As I drown in fathoms of pain. I know you won't come back again. And as I'm sinking, ever falling. It is your love that I am mourning. @Platypus. I try to stand against the tide.
P retty winter wonderland. I s what I can see today. C old but still heartwarming. T akes my breath away. U nderneath a greying sky. R iverbanks are frozen, white. E ven though the water's flowing.
As I lay in the darkness I stole a glance at you Breathing in a moonbeam As you so often do I smile because I know While you're off in la la land I'm probably there with you Gently holding your...
Traces of me lay bare Elevated, unaware Empirical nuances - filter through You rarely notice, it's cruel By @yikici You've grown immune to my needs Watching as destruction plants its seed.
#myfavouriterepost (with a new verse) #lazyleelee Sitting at the roadside What's this that I can see A preacher dressed in black And he's beckoning to me He said.
#acrostic. Sinful through the dark. Clean my soul through days. Re-ignite my spark. Unnerve me with your gaze. Make me feel a shiver. Purge, then burn me with your flame. The temptation you deliver.
In the dead of night. When the moon is high. The remains of the day. Are laying idly by. The mess that we make. As we dive through the day. Need collecting completely. And storing away.
#myfavouriterepost Dusted down, tweaked and with four new lines My bloody OCD's invading every single day Got this affliction on the cheap, but boy, it makes me pay Invited to a party, we're ready...
