5 Line ABC Poem
An ABC poem has a series of lines that
create a mood, picture, or feeling. If the
first word of line 1 begins with an "A",
the first word of line 2 begins with a "B"
etc. You can start from any letter in the
alphabet as long as you continue from
that letter. For example if you wanted
line 1 to start with "G" the next line
would need to start with "H" then "I", "J"
and the last "K". The lines do not need to
rhyme, but they can contain rhyme if you
like. The most popular ABC poems
usually consist of 5 lines, and that is
the rule for this special contest.
Examples:
ABC poem - author unknown
Although things are not perfect
Because of trial or pain
Continue in thanksgiving
Do not begin to blame
Even when the times are hard
Fierce winds are bound to blow
Flowers - author unknown
Aroma of sweet splendors.
Beauty, that won't render.
Caressing the peddles upon your cheek.
Daily given or by the week.
Expressing endless love by the hour.
