Air breathes calm

Alphabets are fun. Some inspiration...

Air breathes calm

calm distills emotions

emotions flow, grow

grow hope inside

inside joy knows

knows love's magic

magic needs openness

openness provides quality

quality reaps strength

strength through unwavering vows

vows with xenial yoked zeal

Thanks for reading!

Author's Notes: Something more on the positive side compared to the other one.

    Another fine example of your creative genius… plus I learnt a new word… Yes… Xenial! 😊 Thanks.

    Never seen a poem in exactly this structure before. Good to know you kinda know your abcs apart from a few double ups every now and again! Jokes. This was cool and forthright without being preachy & a welcome return to your inspirational poems. Love it.

  • Whoaaaaa, two formats in one! This was soooo creative Sir Paul! Very Paulitical! 🍩🥐

  • Ah, but you broke your pattern for the last two lines. Even so, nicely done.
