For the alphabet project

The artist's alphabet

The Writer's Alphabet Poem

Authors approach art artlessly
Books blunt bigotry, barabarism
Competitions counter complacency
Editors emasculate egos emphatically
Few find fame’s fetters freely
Grants glitter greedily
Hopes, happiness, hide heartbreakingly
Immense ideas imagined in ink
Journalists juggle jobs judiciously
Kaleidascopic keyboard karma
Language lights lonely landscape
Minds make mellifluous magic
Novels, non-fiction? Notebooks necessary
Oblique observations offend
Place perfect paragraphs poetically
Quaint quatrains queue querulously
Rogue rejections rankle regularly
Trusty typewriter tabulates tyrannically
Uniquely unfortunate unguarded utterances
Value variation, verbally, vocally
Youthful yarns yield yearnings
Xeroxing xanthic xylographs
Zola, Zen, zeitgeist, zero

(we can use any we like, so I used them all!)
