Poetic Form 16: Alphabet Poem

Warning

Watch how giving love 
becomes quests. Telling 
zealous stories. Joy -
xeroxed opinions.
Nothing until you 
accept every fake 
declaration. Rise.
Proclaim memories,
keeping virtue clear.

Poetic Form #16: Alphabet Poem

The basic guideline is to use the alphabet as the backbone of the poem. You can 
work through the alphabet with every line starting with the appropriate letter (A to Z or Z to A). 
You can start each word in the poem going through the alphabet, or randomize the order 
but each letter is used for the start of the word. 
This last style is what I used for the poem (each line is also 5 syllables).
