I Am

 

The prompt is to pick a letter and choose words that stand out for that letter. I used the Word By Letter page for help.

I think this will be a little more light-hearted than my last poem, though perhaps revealing in its own way!

 

I am Adam

Adam I am

I like art

Sometimes I can be a bit of an ass

But I hope never in an appalling way

 

When I get angry

I try to appease myself

By eating an apple

Or watching a show about apes on the Discovery Channel

Or maybe a show about auks on Animal Planet

 

I was never in the army

I generally don't use an axe or an auger

After a fancy meal, I might like a bit of apricot brandy

With pizza I prefer an ale

Once in an amber moon, I get my lunch from the Golden Arches

 

I like animals

Including alpacas

And dinosaurs

Including the Ankylosaurus

Armadillos and Anteaters are fun as well

 

I have found my animus

Who loves me, although I can be a bit asinine

We were introduced on All Hallows Eve

We will celebrate our anniversary with abysmal horror movies

So we can act like we're scared as an excuse for affection

 

I'd best abbreviate this anthem to the letter A

Ere it becomes appallingly prolonged

Thank you for joining me on my alphabetical adventure

I hope my attempt at verse has amused you

So aloha and adieu for now!

 

~Adam~
