As you seem to have enjoyed the Limerick thread and produced some great ones, I thought it would be time for something a bit different which I found on www.kathimitchell.com/poemtypes.html which is full of good ideas. I thought we would start with this type and then move onto something harder.

ALPHABET:
Each line begins with the letters of the alphabet in order.

An example - A young girl was busy working on her project for school
But suddenly she had a question.
Could this be her lucky day?
Deciding to find out, she
Entered her backyard and
Found hundreds of green shamrocks waiting for her.

Zut alors ! I thought we were going to be saved by Daniel Craig. Where is he when you want him in a crisis?

Rosesarered what's all this about 'rescue yourselves men' I thought from the first line women were aboard, or are we going to be the bait ? grin

No!

Oars safely shipped and

Panting for breath they looked to shore

AlieOxon Wed 16-Apr-14 09:29:40

Many a mariner would give up at this point, but

Nelliemoser Wed 16-Apr-14 09:11:32

Lift the oars! Quick! lift the oars and stop.

NanKate Wed 16-Apr-14 09:07:48
