§Alphabet poems

Make up a poem of 26 words so that each word begins with the next letter of the alphabet. Write another alphabet poem but scramble the letter order.

Apprehensive belligerents can destroy every furtive goal-having introspectively joined KGB- losing many names of people questioning rational security, teaming up very washed x-rays, yearning zealously.

Accept big causes

Don’t explain fortune

Gain happiness imperfectly

Just keep living

Make nothing ontological

Purposefully quantify randomness

Seek the underwhelmed

Vanquish wild xenophobia

Yes, Zarathustra.

A doorman grants just men peace, stultifying vagrant yearnings. Breaking eager hopes, keeping normalcy, quitting time, wills zombies. Create freedom, ignoring love, really ugly xylophones zap.

If freedom zips past youth keeping danger at bay, where can joy linger? How xenophobia quenches voyeurism, harming underestimated Gods never trying, even shouting out, “rage.”

§Write a poem consisting only of prepositions, then of prepositions and one other part of speech; then three parts of speech.

Above before beyond

Inside into between by around

Despite among since through

To like past excluding

Without underneath within

Off over versus

Preposition + Adverbs

Loudly above before beyond

Perfectly inside between by around

Despite among since carefully through

To like past happily excluding

Patiently without within underneath

Overly off versus over.

Preposition + Adverbs + Conjunctions

Loudly above beyond whereas before

Perfectly around by inside whenever between

Rather than among through carefully since

Because to like excluding past happily

Patiently either without underneath within

In order that over overly versus off.
