POETS AND POEMS

Public Group active 1 week 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

    Nutmegs have toxins; don’t eat please

    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?

    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!
