Can I Write an A-to-Z Poem?

Anthony17 Comments

A challenging task is at hand.

Being that I’m writing an A-to-Z Poem.

Clearly this will be no small task.

Definitely a new poetic form I’m trying out.

Elaborate writing will be my only defense.

For this is no ordinary poetic type.

Gee, I’m off to a good start so far.

How can I give up the quest now?

I simply must continue working at it.

Jumping at the chance, I use my creativity.

Killing the time with my ramblings, a I go.

Looking to find something unique to say.

Milling about on my phone, aimlessly.

Now is the time to put forth my best effort.

Onward and upward as the cliche dictates.

Placement and pace are critical to this art.

Quietly and thoughtfully, I compose.

Rolling my fat digits on my phone.

Skillfully trying to make this work, amusing.

To get this close to the final letters is great.

Until I get the final letter will never be done.

Very carefully, I craft the final four lines.

With great precision and care.

Xanax will not be needed at this point.

Yet I feel urgency to get to the final letter.

Zen, is what completing an A-Z poem is…

    • The only rule is that every line starts with the next letter the alphabet so you kinda have to know where you’re going and where you’re coming from sort of to make it makes sense and I like ars poetica (writing about writing)
