We may not be perfect, but what can you find that's better?
Xanthous ribbons are yellow ribbons.
This poem is a suite of 6 ABC Poens with a closing couplet.
An ABC Poem is a poem of 5 lines with any meter. The first letter of the first word in each the first four lines are in alphabetical sequence. The fifth line can start with any letter. The first letter of the first line can start anywhere in the alphabet, but then the next line's letters must follow in sequence until the last line of the stanza, which can vary.
For this poem, i started the first stanza with A, then carried the format through the entire alphabet using a repeated refrain for the fifth line.
For meter, I chose tetrameter., 8 syllables.
