From my wife:

All alone it's
Becoming dark I
Await your return I
Need you here I
Dread the quiet
Only u can save me.
Never returned!

From my 16 year old son, Dylan:

Secretly a ball,
Plainly hidden in sight!
Hiding away
Even hiding it's name!
Really, it's a ball, but
Each to their own.

I'm a sucker for weird and esoteric tags, like these word squares someone has been writing in our neighborhood lately. Each square is a type of acrostic that can be read horizontally or vertically. For example:

T R U S T
R A N C H
U N D E R
S C E N E
T H R E E

Hey #embroidery historians: do you have any links on #acrostic embroidery? This remarkable piece just showed up on reddit and I've never seen anything like it.

And I trawl a lot of museum archives.

#acrostic

Swiftly gas is injected
Permeating the chamber;
At the point at which
Rotation's complete—
Kapow!

for composing catchy tunes,
