An abecedarian is a poem that utilizes the alphabet to begin each line. For example, the first line would start with the letter “A,” the second with the letter “B,” and so on, all the way to Z, making an abecedarian poem 26 lines in total. It challenges you to think of new words to incorporate into your writing, and often leads to unexpected places. Try your hand at writing an abecedarian. [Photo by Sigmund on Unsplash]
