Always remember to pack the essentials,
Bat, Bottle, Bag, Boots,
Cut down anyone who tries to get in the way,
Don't look them in the eye, it only makes it harder,
Enemy, everyone is the enemy, yes, even them,
Find what you can, anything, you'll need it later,
Get up, you don't have time to rest, not yet,
How have you survived this long?
Imagine a better world, running water, safety,
Jokes are the only thing keeping you going,
Kill or be killed, even when its all over,
Like an animal, lose yourself in the fray,
Most of them aren't even people anymore,
Notice how they don't look you in the eye,
Only you are left, Only you can rescue them,
Persevere, soon it'll all be back to normal.
Quick, you have to run, to escape,
Run, run, doesn't matter to where or why,
Stop and you are dead, run, run,
Today is the day, its all over, you can't escape-
Unless you remember the ABCs,
Very good, recall everything I've taught you,
When the end finally comes and its all over,
Xenial little thing you are, listening to me.
You will be safe from the onslaught,
Zealot of the new world order.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away
But what if you have the blues
Can an apple save me from heartbreak
Dare mitigate lost love so true
Everyone has a love of laughs
For it is much more fuchsia fun
Going on the heart break path
Harder to enjoy yellow sun
Indigo blues can be beautiful too
Just depends on how you denim deal
Killing the mood with a chord or two
Live music is the magical teal thrill
Memories of joy we can sing
Notes can bring feelings back
Or we can dream of former things
Pink reminiscing of the past
Quiet or loud melodies so proud
Really can elevate a mahogany mood
Sending the crowd into electric shouts
That paints the whole sky neon blue
Under the spell music will gel
Voices and hearts melt the same
We all feel swell and time will tell
X-ray vision displays notes on brain
You can be blue and still choose to make the best of it
Zip in that grin and bear within yet be saved by red kiss.
In a land of dreams where stories play,
Children laugh and sing in a sunlit day.
With teddy bears and dolls in tow,
They dance in gardens where rainbows grow.
Tiny footsteps, pitter-patter light,
Chasing butterflies, a pure delight.
In a world of make-believe and cheer,
Giggles and laughter, oh so near.
ABCs and 123s, a learning quest,
In books and rhymes, they find their best.
Colorful crayons, a canvas so wide,
Imagination flows like a gentle tide.
Friendly dragons and fairies fair,
Adventures crafted with tender care.
Under the moon, a bedtime rhyme,
Hush-a-bye, in dreams sublime.
In the language of joy, where tales unfold,
A world of wonder, a sight to behold.
Children's laughter, a melody sweet,
In their world, every heart finds its beat.
A lazy afternoon
And an empty classroom.
As I’m about to fall asleep,
At the same time
I fell for you.
“Because” you look
Beautiful in my eyes, and
Because of then, I’ve been getting
Butterflies at the glimpse of you doing what you
Love, making me fall for you even harder.
Catching a glimpse from time to time,
‘Cause it’s the same way you
Caught my heart. You
Can hear it racing, If only I could make
You feel the same way.
So that the roses in my heart could bloom so
Much so you could notice it.
Azure eyes like the bright blue skies,
Blazing bright like a glitter from a blue diamond;
Charming chin like a waterfall between two hills,
Dripping down to drown all tears and fears;
Exquisite ears like a pair of dazzling priceless jewels,
Flickering firefly lights they are, it seems;
Gorgeous glow that entices the sun to kiss the moon,
Holding high its light beam towards the horizon.
A comes to me and whispers things about B.
She asks if I knew it. I say no.
B comes up and whispers things about C and D.
She asks if I think it was right. I say I do not know.
D comes up and tattle tells on F and G.
She asks what I think. I tell her I have no opinion.
F comes up next to put her feet up and complain about A and D.
I keep quiet which is why this is a daily occurrence.
A_All beings count, even those, whom you so loathe!
B_Be cordial and loving, who are you to judge, I ask you?
C_Created each by the Supreme Being, in his City of Gold!

Jealous kittens languishing meaningfully.
Never ostentatious private queries

Devote dedicating deep devotion diminishing deceit
Edify earnestly encouraging everlasting enjoyment
Feed fearlessness finding faith feeling full friendships
Giving great gladness generating guiltless goodness

Seven things to grab in a hurry
My house going up in a blazing fury...
First things first,
my favourite courier bag,
then with my custom leather boots safely inside,
I surmise as quickly as ABC,
well JKLM:
I'd grab my Grandma June's
rosary,
Grandma Kathleen's
silk scarf,
Poppa Leo's
beer stein (with poppa inside),
My mother's
diary...
well maybe not
Magic Casements
my dad's high school poetry book.
Next...
One last look. My...
Pearls!
If I'm homeless,
I want to at least look good.

As Black Cats Don’t Easily Find Good Homes, I’d Just Keep Lovingly Mewing Nicely Or Purring Quite Rigorously So They’d Unconsciously Vow Warmth Xenially Yet Zealously.
——————edit——————
This is my attempt at using the alphabet A-Z to form a rudimentary story. Black cats are considered bad luck and is in no way meant as a racial reference. Some words are uncommon and may seem forced... they are. If you feel capable I’d love for you to present a better example of this style.
digits, emojis, abcs
compose a code
an irregular ode
void of literacy
cursive, capitalization, punctuation
go old school
immediate mass communication
has no rule.
how we connect
changes with time
words can’t reflect
your heart and mine
After
Breaking
Crying and
Drowning;
After feeling:
Empty
Forgotten
Guilty
Hated
Insecure
Judged;
After being:
Kept out
Labeled and lied to
Mistaken
Negative
Offended
Picked on
Quiet
Rejected
Stressed
Torn
Unaccepted
Valueless
Worried
X’d out
Yelled at
Zoned out
You still ask, “How are you?”
and I still say, “I’m fine.”
while I am thinking about, feeling, reliving all of these things.
After bawling every night
and trying to talk to someone,
You still don’t see me crying on the inside even though I have a smile plastered on my face.
I am human.
I am a girl.
I am just like you.
So why do you have to divide us?
Why do you care what I wear or what I say?
Will it effect you in any way?
Only if you let it.
So I am not ok.
I am and always will be,
alone
broken
cheated
dead
empty
I am the ABC’s

An alligator always ate addax and antelopes.
Baby bats began bouncing before burping
Caterpillars climb cable crossings carefully
Dingos don't dine delicately during dinner.
Eager elephants enjoy easily eating eggplants
Funny frogs finally find flipping fun
Granny goat 's girl got green grapes
Healthy heavy happy hippos hate horrendous heat
Iguana is inhaling icky insects
Jolly Joey Jumps joyfully juggling jelly jars.
Kevin's kangaroo keeps kicking kids
Lions like long-legged little llamas
monkeys making magical music
Nightingales nest neatly nearby
Olly's old Ostrich outruns others
Polly parrot playfully peck puppies paws
Quick quirky quails quarrel quietly
Robert's rascally rabbits racing raccoons
Slinky slimy snakes slither slowly
Tony the Tiger tasted termites.
Unusual Ukari understands us
Voracious vicarious vultures visibly vibrate
Walruses wobble while wiggling wildly
x-ray tetras want worms
Young yellow yackety Yaks yawn
Zealous Zany Zesty Zebra
