Abecedarian Brave Bards
Myriad are tales each tell;
Nestled into life, they are
Opened as a gift when right.
Pearls that form from healing scars
Question not when they arrive.
Ready ears and eyes will note
Sharing feels a privilege.
Tiptoes through a blossom field,
Undulating shadows with
Vibrant iridescent sweeps.
Willing wafts of varied s(c)ents,
Xylem seeds may cultivate
Yeti soils of open ears;
Zazen koans will ruminate.
Acquiesce to underground;
Brook of wisdom gurgles there.
Chapters of collective Braille
Diagram our mystery;
Engine chugs us all along.
Free immerse in soul exchange:
Giants walk the earth again.
Hear our voices harmonize
In our choices to engage.
Jump into community,
Keeping melodies through time.
Learn to thrive as one, sublime.

Wow you did a great job with the prompt. It’s tricky when you don’t go from A to Z. Interesting words for x, y and z.

You were brave to start halfway through the alphabet, Lisa, you made a great job of your abecedarian, and myriad is one of my favourite words! Your line ‘Tiptoes through a blossom field’ reminded me of ‘Tiptoe Through the Tulips’ by Tiny Tim. I like the rhythm too.

I was hoping someone would attempt the midway start to our abecedarius and you did – love how you matched the meter to each line so it reads like a collection of wisdoms or aphorisms
“Zazen koans will ruminate.” – how could you not resist that one!!
