I haven’t had time to make a decent post here in a while, but just thought I’d pass on this from another local blogger. The point is to create a poem with twenty six words. Each word must start with a different letter of the alphabet and they must be used in alphabetical order. I think with such strict requirements, it’s okay if a lot of it really doesn’t make sense. It’s just a fun exercise in word usage. I left one Poem on that site, and here’s a second one I came up with. - Note the exception to the rule for the use of the X word.
My a-to-z poem: “Flying Caribou and Yellow Zebras”
Atheist Believe Caribou Don’t Ever Fly.
God Hears Indians Jubilantly Kayaking.
Locals Mostly Nod Off.
Painting Quietly, Red Stained Totem-poles,
Unusually Vexed Wiccans eXclaim - Yellow Zebras!

ReplyDeleteWith such a disciplined mind, you didn't run for MAYOR of FORT WAYNE...WHY???
;)
Nice one, buddy!
yeah, no kidding. that's mayor material.
ReplyDeleteyeah, no kidding. that's mayor material.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure Bob was joking about me being qualified to hold public office. But if he was serious, it should probably not be taken as an indication of my qualifications, but rather an indication that the leaders we do have are not very good.
ReplyDeleteI can think of several offices which I think I (or just about any random person pulled off the street) am as qualified to hold as the current occupant. And I say this while publicly admitting that I am in no way qualified to hold any of these offices.
MY tongue was a bit in my cheek, Phil...
ReplyDeleteAmd yet, maybe someone with YOUR experiences in knowing the worst aspects of this city could, in fact find a way to extol the BEST...
It has the novelty of never having been tried (politically-speaking).
"ANY city or town is only AS GOOD as it's WORST area or resident".

That's pretty good...

Ida;
ReplyDeleteThat first part of yours (a-g) was really good. Honestly, I think it would be virtually impossible to do this and expect the entire thing to be coherent. As long as you follow the rules and have at least a couple actual sentences or at least sentence fragments, then I think a passing grade is in order.
Bob;
Yeah, the best part about writing/reading the a-z poems is getting to learn so many words that start with x.
well phil the second sentence was a personal thing. natasha is my daughter and she needed to open her eyes.
ReplyDeletethe 3rd sentence was about my work.
and the fourth sentence is if i ever saw that part of the x word i would need some zoot. lol and i dont even do over the counter drugs. let alone anything else.
This one was sent to me by a relative.
