Zoological #AtoZChallenge

Letter Z 2010-2024 Blogging from A to Z in April Challenge a-to-zchallenge.com

There wasn’t a paint chip poetry prompt for the letter Z. Zoological is my choice as poems about animals are very popular – there are whole books of them! For the letter W I posted a poem with 31 words and links to two other posts with 31-word poems I wrote for the prompts in August 2021 from Linda Kruschke.

The first 31-word poem I wrote was about an animal. The paint chip phrases I had to choose one from were babbling brook, starship, and lazy lizard. That post includes a photo of a legless lizard or slow worm, which I happened to see on a local walk.

My last poem for this A to Z challenge uses alliteration rather than rhyme.

Lying low
A lazy lizard lounged in the longest day languor.
Lidded eyes looked longingly at large flies.
A long tongue flicked out licking luckless lacewings.
Lunch liquefied later within the reptile’s scales.

My theme for the Blogging from A to Z in April Challenge this year is my poetry.

Theme reveal #AtoZChallenge

A to Z Challenge 2023 participant badge

This year for my A to Z challenge I am revisiting my posts for 2013. My theme that year was alliteration. I had a lot of fun with silly sentences made up of words using the letter of the day.

I also had some more serious content. This is my starting point for this year’s challenge. I hope that I and my readers will learn more about Christ and Christianity from these posts.

Blogging from A to Z in April Theme Reveal

|

Today is the Theme Reveal Day. If you are taking part in the Blogging from A to Z in April Challenge and haven’t found yourself the Theme Reveal Badge, it is here. This year for the A to Z Challenge I have taken my 2013 Challenge as a starting point for most of the posts. In 2013 I wrote posts with an alliterative theme, mostly ending with something relating to the Bible.

For the 2017 challenge I have written posts based around something or usually someone from the Bible. Sometimes it is a fictional story, for example when I have changed the narrator or added some back stories (as a writing exercise). Sometimes my post is a summary.

Some of the characters are well-known, others less so.

I hope my readers will be challenged to consider the original texts in more depth. (If only to discover what liberties I have taken with them!)
