ABC in Vice

Author:

Inspired by Rinita Sen and Ann Carr, I have made an attempt at Abecedarian poetry.

The topic is Gluttony and Sloth, two of my prominent sins that I struggle to keep in check every day.

Artfully built custard dressed edibles
flourish gloriously,

Hanging in juicy kegs lazy mornings, nights of pardon.

'Queen's Rhapsody' sits timelessly under visions
Woofing X-box yells zenith.

You certainly succeeded in your attempt, Tiyasha. The verse is full of wit, humor, and glorious description. The image is wonderful too. Loved it! I have to say that I could certainly relate to this. Stay safe, my friend.

Good work on this Abecedarian poem, Tiyasha. Not the easiest thing to do but you delivered.

Although I don't practice this form I think you have done a great job with this poem Tiyasha. Loved the cartoon - I'm a bit of a couch potato myself at the moment. Take care and stay safe my friend.
