          ALPHABETICAL EXERCISE
           By ... Steve Lucky

Access to the inspiration needed to
Begin the task of writing this
Crazy poem requires it to be
Designed in such a way that its
Elegance should not be limited to the required pattern.
For the poem has the tendency to
Gather momentum as it continues to flow.
Hopefully the pattern can be found
Internally and will be able to
Just slide into place.
Keeping things on track does not require discarding other ideas.
Looking at the words taken out of the poem
May yet give an idea as to where it should go.
Nothing, or at least very little, is gained when
Only the same words are repeated.
Progress should be made
Quickly, yet for the
Real and imagined ideas to
Sound the way they should.
Time is needed to
Understand what needs to be done.
Very carefully the words are planned to
Welcome the reader to the pattern within the pattern.
X marks the spot as
Years of experience go
Zooming by in mere seconds.
