Let's plan for tomorrow, they said. Agendas were drawn up and read. Risks were assessed. Goals were addressed. Everyone went back to bed.

My daily appointment with what passes for a face is a chance to tell myself some serious home truths regarding my abject failure to measure up to expectations - responding to this utterly unfair and unjustified ticking-off only seems to make things a whole lot worse so I very rarely object but nod and slink away when I'm not looking.

Jackpot Rollover
Very disappointing, don't you think, today's word? One must use it, though. No backsliding permitted! Unpromising starters can offer a stimulating challenge to the acrostician. Could VOUCHER perhaps turn out to be the portal to the perfect poem? Having come this far, however, I'm beginning to doubt it. Ending the poem well is looking increasingly unlikely. Redeem this failed effort for a more successful outcome next time around.

My randomly-generated acrostic word for today is Form. Four letters, four lines required, fine! But the word, like many others, has different meanings so I decided to play around with four of them. One, at least, is a riddle. Even more confusingly, the picture I’ve chosen to illustrate the topic bears no relationship to any of them!
Fresh each day I make big plans to change, overlooking Habit's sticking power - right I tell myself you're now a new man who can - but I can't above an hour! flux is drift outcomes shift rock-beds rift mountains lift fast as the wind out boxing in spring rather long ears my home starts these lines First in every subject always was his biggest boast. Outdoing classmates easily, well, he began to coast. Real life came hard, without the prestige he was lost. Me, I knew that being Number One came at a cost.
