Start a poem with a word that begins with the letter 'A', moving along the alphabet (English, please) for each successive word.  The poem must follow these directions and must make sense somehow.

For example
All brown cows dive Enigmatically
Forward, going
Heavy into jumps,
Kaleidoscopic.  


That's A through K. How far can you get?  


(The first student who gets to Z will receive a starbucks gift card and a 'Do Good Lottery' ticket !!  Remember, poetry can be abstract, but good poetry always makes sense somehow...your poem must make sense - this means you may be asked to provide an explanation !)

 
Option 1 - Have you ever surprised or scared yourself with a revelation that something was/is true or false?  Write about it.  

Option 2 - Write about a time in your life when you were confronted by someone, or a group of people, for having unpopular views.  
 
I was angry with my friend; I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe; I told it not, my wrath did grow."
                                                                                 - William Blake
