Poetry from A to Z...Not!


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.
