I've seen writing challenges on other sites and always enjoyed them, so I thought I'd propose one on papertank....

Write a poem, using every letter of the alphabet as the start of each word - the words must be in alphabetical order....
 
To be or not to be....that is totally illogical captain.....Spock.

OK here's my attempt:

A beastly cacophony,
doesn't even finally get,
hell's indignant jamboree.
keeping lost men.
nearly over pious,
quickly reducing souls,
together under vanity,
with xenophobes yelling zealously.


Phheewww!

[Hey guys! I edited it! Look at me! WOO!]

A bastard, cleaning drains,
Expires, flailing gruesomely
Hurtling into John's knotted legs.
Murderous, noxious, odiousness
Possesses quaking, raging sir, terrifying
Underlings.
Vanish without
Xylophones, yoghurt... zeal.

Ouch.
 
Bizarro, anyone?

If you've written something in Humor, I'll review it.

Okay, here's my (fairly lame) attempt,


Another beauty caught.
Don’t even flee,
(Gotcha)
He is Just, knowing, leering, mocking.
No ordinary Prince.

Quiet rape.
She totters, unsteady,
Violated woman,
Xanthocomic young zendik.

Another bountiful catch
Decided everything's fake.
Gone haywire
In just kiloseconds.
Love me not or
Permit quandary.
Rudely steal thirst?
Uncertainty veneers
With Xuthus' Yearned
Zest.

Man, that was hard.
 
Sleep, those little slices of death; Oh how I loathe them.
-Edgar Allan Poe

Where I live, such letters are forbidden from being enunciated at the start of words. Had I done so, it would have meant a death sentence.

Definitely the most awesome one so far.

==Princess of the Sword==

Chapter 3

Dri focused on the glass sphere that relaxed in a velvet cushion, the creak of the bow dispelled the suffocating silence, his lips tightened into a thin line as he drew it back and his green eyes sharpened. A sigh escaped him as he relaxed the bow.

“No.” he breathed, disappointment soured his face, “not good enough....
