Animal, vegetable and Mineral - (A - Z)

by Mr. Darcy   Sep 5, 2008


Mission Impossible..to write a poem, A- Z
that rhymes and follows a theme like:

Animal, Vegetable and Mineral

Ants
Bean here,
Copper dust.
Dingo devours,
Eggplant flesh to rust
Fluorite keeps a smile white
Geese overhead, formations fight.
Huckleberry swims rascal strokes
Ice sculptures in frost; I dare not poke!
Jaguar, there you are, in shadows deep.
Kale exhale, shhh, creep, slowly, hushh,. go now, leap!
Lead swims in blackened veins, creating clouds full of rain.
Mosquito sucks indelible pain, vengeance strikes death's stain

Naranjillo's mauve suede suit, spawns fruit's golden juice.
Opal splices rod of Zeus; praise, peace and truth.
Peacock struts and preens his dappled splendour.
Quince, quakes and fails the great pretender
Ruby weeps on the riverbank's mire.
Swan drowns in water red fire.
Turnip roasts sweetened taste
Uvite's smooth like lace
Vultures' wretch on
Watercress
Xonot(lite)
Yak's got
Zest

I have used a form called Etheree, this one is a double Etheree (well, nearly) The form starts with line 1, using just 1 x syllable, then line 2, 2 x syllables and so on. As I have used the alphabet it goes to line 13, 13 x syllables, reducing down to 1 x syllable.

You will notice that it is not perfect, so any help will be greatly appreciated. :)

    Not knowing the form it looks good to me. Only thing I see is your word choice could have been better in a couple places.

    A very interesting poem . It does look like it is a difficult type to write. I Like it. I think this is the first time I have seen this type of poem. It was very good.
