Morning bright window curtains
Newly fallen sunlit snow
Oven is on, baking muffins
Pancakes are on the griddle
We sleepily exchange coffee-flavored kisses and smile.
This is an “ABC" poem. According to some sources, this should be the equivalent to an Abecedarian poem, but according to other sources this should be a five line poem where the first four lines are made up of words, phrases, or clauses — each starting with a word that is in alphabetical order, much like the Abecedarian, but without having to begin with "A."
The fifth line is a complete sentence and can begin with any letter. The goal is to create a mood, feeling, or a vivid mental picture.
Tongue across wet lips
Love is a four letter word
She speaks silently
Her fingers in mine
My fingers between her lips
My heart in her hands
She shows me such things
Bright public hidden and dark
Mom never told me
My Love, for you I tell
The words my heart doth sing:
In pastel harmonies and
Tribal jungle rhythms
High angelic notes amid
Low animal growling
Every note and utterance
Tells the same tale…
A thank you to the Creator
For bringing you into my life
I love you.
I say goodbye
At security
They pass through search and x-ray
Belt and post maze empty
I whisper my prayers
For their safe passage
And feel sad
With my eyes closed
To deny my tears
I hear echoing voices
Tinny obscure music
Rolling luggage wheels
Squeaking shoes walking
My own sobs
I wait for them
To board the airplane
And then with heavy footsteps
I trudge to where I parked
To drive home alone
Apartment empty
As they fly

She lets herself in
While I am asleep
It can’t be a sin
This secret we keep
While I am asleep
She snuggles in close
This secret we keep
Which I love the most
She snuggles in close
This girl who’s my missus
Which I love the most
I awake to her kisses
This girl who’s my misses
Her skin warm and soft
I awake to her kisses
It’s gone hot in this loft!
Igniting intense fires
This can’t be a sin
Fulfills my desires
She lets herself in
Feeling
Behind left knee
Kissing
Eyes closed
Wearing soft smile
She’s posed
Each kiss
A world its own
Sweetness
