POETS AND POEMS

Public Group active 3 weeks, 3 days ago

(For even prose artists!) Verse of all forms find a home with their writers: A place for the poets of the house where they can meet and exchange ideas especially as they seem to have the least reads on NS. :) Don’t worry, we wouldn’t be only speaking Shakespeare or Soyinka…

    Here we will employ the style of Abecedarian poetry to weave, hopefully, a creative thread that celebrates the inspiring beauty/power of plants and animals. So here is how we will do it: Each person would post four lines, the first word of each line being the name of a plant or an animal. The first letter of each line must continue from the first letter of the preceding line in alphabetical order. When we get to Z, we start all over again. So I start!

Almonds are the optic benchmarks of human eyes
Bulls have been friends of Spanish men since
Cats have inspired the gait on runways
Dogs have always been man’s best friend.

*so the next person starts with the name of a plant or animal that starts with the letter E.

Elephants and peanuts are trademarks of the circus, and are like
Fishes, who feel at home in their natural habitat – water, which
Grasses everywhere enjoy, and long for from the dew of the morning
Hen-ce, humans like me and you can enjoy the beauty of the lush green plains

Indigo plants gave the world a reddish blue colour
Jaguars inspired that car of the elites
Kittens are adorable, a pleasure to sight
Lions will roar and send shivers down spines

Mangoes are juicy – but not for me
Nutmegs have toxins; don’t eat please
Oranges nko? Juices for life
Peas in a pod I wanna be with my wife!

Quetzals gave name to money from Guatemala
Radishes remind me of Kungfu panda
Snakes are my secret greatest fear
Tadpoles are good looking–what happened as frogs?

Ugochi, is pretty but,
Veronica is sexier.
Waters are for fishes to live in but
Xaxophone are made to be played by men.
Yatch is not a boat, its a …
Zebras are foolish, I prefer horses.

Apples are yummy
Bears prefer berries
Can’t say I blame them;
but for me Dates are delicious!

Elephants aren’t big, they’re tiny
Fishes don’t swim, they walk
Goats? They aren’t foolish- just mindind their business
Horses are slow, a snail is faster.

Insects! Insects! Insects. A mosquito is certainly not one of them
Jaguars aren’t fast, they are hyperboled jumpers
Kangaroos are nothing but developed version of Koalas
Leopards and Lions, are not carnivores, they eat flesh because they think its plant.

Mangoes aren’t fruits- they arey just overfertilized peanuts.
Nectarine are rare fruits, lower version of apples.
Oranges are never sweet. I hate it to the core.
Pineapples real taste is bitter, cunny farmers add sugar. Believe me.

quenepas will make you grimace and frown,but great in avocado dips
Radishes make some grown men cry, but divine in a bowl of salad
Salt flavors the palate, too much raises the pressure
Tomatoes are red and juicy of all four the most delicious!
