A boy child dreams every fortnight
Giving his infinite joy, knowledge, love
Making new obscure places
Quietly revealing silently these understood voices
Wanting xanthic, youthful zinnias

Zephyr, you xenophile
Waft vicariously up to seek real quests
Piloting over nights moon
Leaving kingdoms jewels in hand
Growing for each day
Caring beyond all

Im speechles, Sven...these alphabet poems must have been terribly difficult to do...but yet you have done them so well...im impressed by the awesome meaning they carry here instead of just nonsensical rambling pieces

WELL DONE

Wow excellent Sven, my brain would go on strike trying to do something half as good as that.

Sven,
these recent poems form you just go on from interesting to more interesting and upwards...

WOW, amazing work...

-------------

Amid bright crimson daylight early,
Flowers gave him incredible joy,
Kisses lovely, mystical notes on petals,
Quiveringly resplendent sentiments,
Triggering unique visions
While xylophone yearns zest...

See you inspired me to write about a "wannabe" musician... on a summer morning looking at flowers ...  

regards, sudhir.

Thanks to everyone. . . and thank you Sudhir, for your poem.

An alphabet poem is just that, it's a poem where each word begins with the next letter of the alphaber (A-Z, or Z-A).  But an alphabet poem can also be about a specific letter of the alphabet, like I or R.  It can also be a poem where every word in each line begins with the same letter (or almost every word. . .)

Hope that this helps. . .
