A bleached crow drank every
fruitful gram housed in June’s
karma letting mayhem’s nightshade,
omen prayer quickly race scaldingly toward
Udl’s venomously wretched,
xenic yellowed zythepsary.

Marian at Real Toads gave us an alphabet challenge with these instructions: It's a simple challenge, really. Starting with the letter A every next word should start with the next letter of the alphabet. Well, I managed to get the entire alphabet in mine. I was high on caffeine and little sleep. :) I have included some definitions in case there are those who thought I made up words. :)
1 to 30, A to Z!
Udl: Flying demon from Austria. He tells
about war and bad luck by his cries.
Xenic : -noun Chemistry. Xenic
acid is the aqueous solution of xenon trioxide, a stable weak acid and strong
oxidizing agent.
Zythepsary: -noun. A brewery
I made it, 30 poems in 30 days! This was my first attempt at writing for NaPoWriMo. Even with the sad loss of my mother-in-law I was determined to meet the goal I set for myself. Thanks to all my lovely toad friends for all their inspiration and encouragement this past month. I couldn't have done it without each one of you!

Having to double up on several days made the writing even harder for you.
And a triple chocolate sundae for the final day.
Well done all of us.
Thank you for the company.
Must have been hard to keep it going after the loss of your MIL. Kudos to you that you did. It probably helped as a coping mechanism, too, I hope. May her soul rest in peace.

Congrats on your 30 poems!
I wonder how you managed to write it.
It is my turn to think of it.
Thanks for stopping by my dream and leaving traces.
Blessings...

Harking back to the months when I started my blog, and my father was dying, then died, I found the writing took me out of my grief. I wrote most of the Unfittie's travel chapters in the months before, and immediately after his death.
Then I couldn't write them any more, and turned to memes. I was SO happy to find Real Toads.
I know lots of warm Toad thoughts have been with you and your family during this time.
Luv, K
I love the scene you set with your poem and the definitions, too...learned something new. :)
