A Difficult Abecedarian Poem

A Poem Starting A To Z and Finishing Z To A

By Mike Singleton ๐Ÿ’œ Mikeydred Published 4 years ago โ€ข Updated 2 years ago โ€ข 1 min read

This is a โ€œDifficultโ€ Abecedarian Poem because the basic Abecedarian is a poem where every line starts with the next ascending letter โ€œAโ€ to โ€œZโ€ but this requires that every line end with the next descending letter โ€œZโ€ to โ€œAโ€ , so rhyme is out of the question but every line will contain 8 syllables.

The theme of this is the attempt to write this poem and actually make sense

An Abecedarian Buzz

Because It Will Take Every Day

Can You Believe This Is A Fix

Donโ€™t Worry Now I Know You Know

Every Word Dragged Out By Luv

ึ†ึ†

For Every Line, Say Adieu

Go now reader this is a test

Has This Put You Deep In Distress

I Do Not Know what this is for

Just Slowly Letting the Words Cinq

ึ†ึ†

Keeping On Writing With Your Chin Up

Love the Way The Words Fall, I Do

Must Really Keep On Keeping On

No Stopping Now, No Thought of Gloom

Oh My I Must Never Be Dull

ึ†ึ†

Perhaps I can now take a break

Quietly Majestic As Taj

Right Now Words Like Spaghetti

So We Drift Along , Make A Wish

Take Our Time Keep Our Words Flowing

ึ†ึ†

Unless Something Happens, Goes Off

Very Slowly The End Is Here

Waiting Here For The Very End

X-Ray Vision Around The Bloc

You Have Arrived Now, Thereโ€™s The Rub

Zero Lines Left, A word Coda

    I had a go at doing one of these, and failed! Well done!

    Mike, how do you come up with this stuff? Plus, love the Jackson 5 reference. 'ABC' is one of my favorite songs from them.

    That made my head spin! Excellent job my friend! I had a hard enough time just doing the regular Abecedarian . That was amazing ๐Ÿ‘

    Nicely done. I tried one of these one time. It's hard to do, but you did it well.
