Official Prompt:
Today, I’d like to challenge you to write an abecedarian poem – a poem in which the word choice follows the words/order of the alphabet. You could write a very strict abecedarian poem, in which there are twenty-six words in alphabetical order, or you could write one in which each line begins with a word that follows the order of the alphabet. This is a prompt that lends itself well to a certain playfulness. Need some examples? Try this poem by Jessica Greenbaum, this one by Howard Nemerov or this one by John Bosworth.My Prompt:
I’ve used this one in a previous challenge so I want to see what it brings out this time around. In today’s poem, I want you to explore your current surroundings but do so as if you were lacking your smell, sight, taste, touch etc. This could lead you to diving deeper into the loss or absence of something. Conversely, it could lead you to explore the world in a new way! Have fun with it!
