Ablaze (A-to-Z Poetic Soundtrack)

Hello, everyone! Welcome to the first installment of my NaPoWrimo Diaries Series, the series that combines NaPowrimo, and the A-Z challenge, in order for me to help create my poetic soundtrack for Can You Spell Werewolf?, made up of acrostic poems.

Hello, everyone! Welcome to the first installment of my NaPoWrimo Diaries Series, the series that combines NaPowrimo, and the A-Z challenge, in order for me to help create my poetic soundtrack for Can You Spell Werewolf?, made up of acrostic poems.

Since it’s Two-for-Tuesday, you will be recieving the A poem and the B poem today.

This poem adapts the emotions of the first scene of my opening scene of my first chapter:

A tale as old as time

B eginning in this new house

L ooking for permanence is—

Ah, pointless—a cat chasing a mouse

Z ooming through is a song as old as rhyme:

E verything will not be fine

We’re…already off to a great start, right?

I hope you enjoyed this poem!

Stay tuned for the B poem later, which I’m calling…

    What a clever challenge PLUS marketing idea! 🙂 I am also planning to write poetry (it’s National Poetry Month!) and combine NaBloPoMo/NaGloPoMo, A to Z, Writers Digest’s Poem-a-Day, The Stafford Challenge – yes, I am quadruple-dipping this year. (I’m also up to “S” in a challenge I started for myself earlier in the year to try new(ish) poetry forms in alphabetical order. I may have to double up on a letter or two – probably when I get to “Q”.)

    I love acrostic poems. Even better: try a double-acrostic poem! (First AND last letters of each line spelling different messages.) Have fun! I look forward to seeing what else you come up with during the month.

      Thank you so much! I will definitely check out your poems as well!

      I’ll also see if I can try the double-acrostic idea!

      Have fun too!

    I didn’t get “A” posted, yesterday – not because I didn’t write it, but because I didn’t finish it and hit “Publish.” I shall try to make up for that with two for today! 😀

      Thank you so much for reading and commenting! I fell off of the challenge to focus more on the actual novel itself, but maybe I’ll have better luck next year! I did have fun though!
