I saw this idea somewhere a few weeks ago, where you write a poem with each line starting with the next letter of the alphabet.
I have hunted around to see if I can find where I saw the idea so I could give proper credit but I haven’t been able to find it. If anyone knows or spots it, please let me know so I can reference the site.
-------------------------------------
All I need is to be understood,
Be appreciated for what I can offer
Coming only when you need me is not good enough
Dumping your problems on me
Enough is enough
Forget that there ever was an ‘us’
Go on with our lives
Holding no grudges
I am moving on
Just stop ringing and calling around
Keep away from me
Leave me alone
My mental health is worth more to me than you are
Not that there was ever any future to this
Or any chance of success
Put me out of your mind
Quiet time is what I need so I can think
Reason must be applied
So be it
There will be other opportunities for love
Until then I’ll be OK
Virtually alone
Without love but without your harmful words
Xyster filing at my heart
You are a good man but not my good man
Zip, nada, nothing more to come – it’s over between us
------------------------------
OK, OK I beg your forgiveness for this tripe dear readers. It’s harder than you think it will be. I challenge you to give it a go – go on and see if you can do better :-)
What a great idea! I will definately put it on the to do list, I have a few projects I am working on myself at the moment and my brains are in danger of melting. But I will post it once I get to it.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of a Tupperware party, where home made Bailey's was involved, a competition using the alphabet. I got disqualified. No sense of humour some Tupperware Dealers.
lol Daze - no sense of humour will never be your problem
ReplyDeletePut a stamp on your own life. That's yours and yours alone. Everyone else is just a visitor. They may camp in your life, but still, you're doing it alone in the end. Make the best of it.
ReplyDeleteWise words sage tattooed one, I believe.
ReplyDeleteI loved it.
ReplyDeleteSad but exhilarating at the same time.
Freeing.
I may have to do an A to Z myself.
Yes quite a cathartic mechanism Bob. Releasing.
ReplyDeleteThese are some really wise words!!! Thanks for sharing this!!!
ReplyDeleteLou, very telling and must've been something you've been needing to say very badly. I'm glad you were able to put it all to words and release it.
ReplyDeleteYou are creative, clever and quite clear with your intent.
Appreciate you sharing this.

Pretty good there, Lou! One of these days, maybe I'll give it a go.
