She even provided a link to a post where she had done it four times.
I have been struggling with it since midnight last night, waking up during the night, scribbling things in the margins of magazines in the bathroom because turning on the computer would wake the dog, who would want food, and want to go out, and all those doggy things.
Sigh.
So, this is the best I could do. I've written another poem for today, which will be posted to my blog but not linked to Real Toads because it doesn't meet the criteria for today's challenge.
Sigh again.

above blue,
clouds divide
evening,
from
great heights.
I just know
long mornings
never open
perfectly.
queer red sunsets
tempt uncaring
viewers,
while Xavier
yells “Zap!”

This is sublime. The words fall so naturally, that I would never have thought it was a deliberate A-Z until I got to xyz.
hey my lovely real poet, I really enjoyed this, stop doubting yourself xxxx
I think the first stanza is really beautiful and the red sunset photograph is truly tempting!
ooooh i love this, Kay. i know, i know, it's all beautiful till that damn X and then you're forced into a weird place. but still, this is wonderful. i'm sorry to be the cause of sleep deprivation, but i'm pleased that you took the challenge and am NOT surprised that you delivered something lovely.
and YAY IT'S APRIL 30! congrats on a month of a job well done!!!! xo
Love this, especially the line "I just know long mornings never open perfectly." We have gone through an incredible month of writing. Now perhaps we can take a deep breath and not make our muses work overtime.
Pondering the perfect opening of morning and picturing your character, Xavier! Fun, Kay!Love the image!
Nice job! Especially love the beginning...was floating with the clouds.
Excellent. You really made this work.
Seemed so 'natural'. It does surprise me that the abc can be hidden.
I am still cackling! I love how the times of day are gliding into the alphabet when suddenly a dog enters! Ha!

Aren't you lucky you don't live in Norway, where they never use words beginning with c, q, w and z and have the extra three vowels: æ,ø and å!!
