abecedarian for the realist

by Michele Schottelkorb

able bodies create dedicated earnings
for greater human initiative
just knowledge lends meaningful notes of perseverance
quintessential reality shines through!
unless...
villainous wrenches x-radiate your zealousness

I like this one because it uses each word in a meaningful way. A lot of times, Abecedarians sound a little bit like "I threw this word in because I needed to use up the letter, and it plays no meaningful part in the poem" But yours really utilizes each word well :)

Creating a piece, subtle and meaningful, and a clear message, with self imposed boundaries is commendable.Its a crafty creation.
