2017 A-Z Challenge theme reveal: Storybook illustrations undone from A to Z




Nickers and Ink joins the April A to Z Challenge and National Poetry Writing Month for another year. That means I aim to write and publish 26 poems (titled from A to Z), with new ones appearing daily (except Sundays) throughout the month. Thousands of bloggers and poets participate in these annual events.

Here’s my Nickers and Ink Poetry and Humor theme reveal for this year's April challenges.

Adapted by this user from vintage artwork.
  
Storybook illustrations undone
(A rhymed request on April's fest)

My pen I will prime,
As April appears.
Old drawings I’ll rhyme,
So lend me your ears.

I’ve chosen some sights
From sketches of old.
In blitzes and bytes,
I’ll swap what they’ve told.

The alphabet full,
From A down to Z,
My musings will cull,
For truth’s repartee.

Right or wrong,
Come along.

Double back daily, so you won’t miss any of these poetic posts from A to Z. Comment, if you will, with a link to your own latest blog post.
Happy A to Z and NaPoWriMo.

Zip dive and the final drive


Zooming from A to Z

The challenge is sealed with a kiss,
Each writer’s mind now an abyss.
No letters remain
The brain so to drain.
Today, A to Z we dismiss.

G is for Gumption - Rhymed Acrostics A to Z



G is for Gumption - Rhymed Acrostics A to Z

Goodness! Gracious! Who’s a go-getter? Who's got that good old get-up-and-go?

Gumption


Go for triumph. Seek the end.
Understand and apprehend.
Make a promise. Eye the line.
Pick a spot, and stake it thine.
Take a stand, and make a vow.
I’m all-in. Don’t stop me now.
Overcomers, stubborn sorts,
Never question good reports.
