Abecedarian for Adolescence
A
boy
can
dream
every
fate,
get
help
if
jeers
kill
life’s
momentum.
Night’s
onanistic
promise:
queer
rhythms,
sleep,
those
unclean
visions.
Wait.
X-Acto
your
zit.

perfect use of the form! Love the different levels of diction. Nice wit.
Thanks, Libby!
Enjoyed. Wish we could send it to my grandson.
You’re welcome to send it to him if you think it’s appropriate. It’s a tiny bit naughty.
You made such good use of your title! I wonder how many poems end with the word zit? Good job.
A poem that was able to live up to its title! Great. Work!
impressed, expecially that you found an X word
loved how it moved. x-acto and zit also impressed me.
This is really great use of form and compression
Thanks, all! This was a fun one if a bit naughty.
