Alphabet Fun...... [fun With Letters A, B, C, Etc.; My Rarely-Used Vocabulary; 'Bad' Vs. 'Good'] Poem by Bri Edwards
Alphabet Fun...... [fun With Letters A, B, C, Etc.; My Rarely-Used Vocabulary; 'Bad' Vs. 'Good']
[A, a …Around an august alphabet are actions awfully awesome.]
[The “mostly-bad” Awesome. Read onward.]
B, b…Behold Bellowing Bellicose Beasts behaving by being bad:
C, c…Conspicuously crusty critters cavort, creating citizen-concerns.
D, d…Diverse devils delve deeply, demanding dastardly deeds.
E, e…Enormous errors evolve excitedly, ensnaring every effort.
F, f…Felonious forces fleece forgiving, fearful fellows forever.
G, g…Gargantuan gargoyles gather gloomily; gazing, gawking gnomes.
H, h…Horrible hazards hinder happy, headstrong heathens.
I, i…Invisible, insidious 'injuries' inflicted inside innocent individuals.
J, j…Jealous journalists join jittery jet-setters, jiving judiciously.
K, k…Kicking Kangaroos knowingly knocking kooky kookaburras.
L, l…Licentious liberals leaving lonely ladies, ……laughing.
M, m…Monstrous monolithic money-makers making many men miserable.
N, n…Nervous Nellies, needing needles, needlessly nodding numbly.
[The “mostly-good” Awesome. Read onward.]
O, o…Optimistic operators openly offering opportunities overflowing.
P, p…Progressive politicians pounding past petty political principals.
Q, q…Quintessential quietude quietly quelling querulous queries.
R, r…Responding rescuers resuscitating ramshackle-raft rafters.
S, s…Sympathetic society-sweethearts serving shaky seniors.
T, t…Thorough thinkers tirelessly tinkering towards triumph.
U, u…Unsung utilitarians uncompromisingly urging utilitarianism.
V, v…Voracious vegetarians vetting various vital vegetarian vittles.
W, w…Wise winning-women wanting wholesome weddings.
and
[X, x…Xanthous xiphoid xebecs xchanging xenophobes (for) xenophiles.]
[Y, y…Yesteryear’s youngsters: yelling, yearning, yellowing. Yikes! ]
[Z, z…Zealous Zen zealots zigzagging, zeroing (in) .]
In this case the “Bad” outnumbered the “Good”.
I had to credit A, J, X, Y, and Z as neither.
If I’d planned better, “Good” could have “won”; it Could.
But I’ll leave it as is; I need a breather! !
(November 24,2013)
G...gnomes was close enough, i thought, to gargoyles.
H...i'm a 'headstrong heathen', for which i MAY someday confront an insurmountable 'hazard'. [see my, also new, poem beginning 'Agnostic-view..']
I...picture a liver tumor/tumour or an aortic aneurism. not invisible to modern day medicine however.
K...thanks, my 'down-under' friends, for supplying me with some 'k' words here.
L...the liberals (all men in this case; well..maybe some women also) were laughing, NOT the 'lonely ladies'.
M...can you spell Wall Street?
N...'needles' in reference to sedatives
P...'principals'/other politicians, NOT 'principles'/rules.
Q...you've got a dictionary!
R...my good friend, Karl, was one of the 'ramshackle-raft rafters' who was rescued by rescuers when he was a boy on Seneca Lake in upstate New York.
S...my wife became a 'society-sweetheart' this year, delivering meals to 'shaky seniors'.
X...i failed miserably here: (
Y...i couldn't decide if this was 'Good' or 'Bad'. what do you think? i'm not at 'that' stage of life yet........well, my wife says i yell!
W...'winning' as in attractive, physically or mentally. maybe i didn't need the -. oops! this is out of alphabetical order.
p.s. i pronounce 'neither' like 'breather', though sometimes it is pronounced like........... well...... the OTHER WAY!
It doesn’t sound awful because it was written in August. More so I’ve greatly enriched my English alphabet with new words. It’s only such a pity that I’ve lost five years. I think that The New Webster Dictionary may envy you.
Your alphabet poem is great, except for P, far too unbelievable. M on the other had sounds very true. Loved Q, and had to pull out my dictionary for X (I'll let you go with xchanging, X is a tough letter) , and of course you found a word that means sword shaped. And there should be more W. You ask about Y, I don't see how Yellowing fits, but is sounds good.
