I once toyed with the idea of writing a collection of poems about the letters of the alphabet. That poetry project fell by the wayside—after I wrote quatrains for the letters A and Z. I had forgotten all about the project until I went looking through my “miscellaneous poems” folder this morning. I have a number of other projects moldering away in literary limbo.
Have any of you ever abandoned a writing project in its infancy—or at any other stage of development?
Without any fanfare, I present A and Z:
A’s in charge and doing fine…
Gets the alphabet in line,
Shouts marching orders, takes the lead.
“Attention, Letters, let’s proceed.”
Z’s the one that’s always last,
Waits till A through Y have passed.
Then from the end zone out it zooms.
“Well, that’s all, folks!” Z loudly booms.
A’s in charge and doing fine…
Gets the alphabet in line,
Shouts marching orders, takes the lead.
“Attention, Letters, let’s proceed.”
Z’s the one that’s always last,
Waits till A through Y have passed.
Then from the end zone out it zooms.
“Well, that’s all, folks!” Z loudly booms.
