A, B, C, easy as 1, 2, 3

I bet you're singing that Jackson 5 song in your head now, maybe even out loud.
Today I thought of an interesting notion for a prompt, yet a very simple one.

Prompt of the day:
Write a poem that is 26 lines. Each line begins with a different letter of the alphabet. A, B, C, etc.

I guess you're wondering why this lover of abstract prompts and wild ideas wants something with actual parameters for once. I guess I found myself spinning into the unknown and needed some grounding. I think sometimes as artists and wordsmiths, we need to give ourselves something with structure.

Need some help finding words? Here's a list of 100 beautiful words.


Write something? Have something to share? Tell us all about it in the comments and tweet me at @beverlytanfilm #octpowrimo 

Happy writing! 

Share your poetry with us by linking up. Make sure you visit your neighbors one or two before and after. If you are last on the list go back to the beginning of the list. If you are the first few on the list please go back to the day before and visit the last on the list if you haven't already. Have fun!
