Abc's of Capital Cities

Athens, quite a place, so full of mythology Buenos Aires, in Argentina, a place I'd love to see Canberra, is just antipodean class Dublin, a pint of Guinness in a glass Edinburgh, the capital of the Scots Freetown, a city, now violence is never sought Georgetown, a place where Jim Jones left a scar Helsinki, in its mountains, where reindeer herd so far Islamabad, one of the greenest cities of the east Jakarta, very close to where the Komodo's live and feast Kuwait City, the start of Saddam's downfall La Paz, is the capital, that looks down on them all Monaco, where the rich and famous live Nassau, with her golden beaches, where the breakers finally give Oslo, in the land of skiing and fjords Prague, with its architectural hoard Quito, is the second highest in the world Rome, to the lions, the Christians were hurled Seoul, in the lands of the 38th parallel Tripoli, where many an Anzac's fell Ulaanbaatar, in a country full of steppes Valletta, amidst the Mediterranean set Warsaw, the ghetto's in World War II Xi'an, its all i have to see this through Yerevan, near the Biblical mountains, of Ararat Zagreb, escaped being a Balkan War stat Written 3/1/2010. http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/the-world.php

I agree with Carolyn James. I don't know where you get all this?! I've never seen ABC like this. I was so interested in the places and what was there i forgot i was reading ABC!

I don't know how you do it, James! The ABC form seems to be so difficult for me, but you have it mastered. I love this one and the one you wrote about musicians. Excellent! Love, Carolyn
