Awaken the Guardian

Easily the quirkiest poem I have ever written.

So I decided to write an acrostic poem using the letters of the alphabet.  Simple enough, yes, but here's where the twist comes in; each line can only contain words that begin with the letter the line began with(the first line begins with A, therefore all of the words in that line must begin with A).  On top of that, I attempted to make a story with this poem at the same time.  I've never spent more time on a poem than I have with this one, and I personally think that the end result wasn't worth the effort, but I decided to post it on the site anyway.  It may not seem like it, but there is a story in this poem, and I carefully choose each and every word so that it makes sense in some sense in this poem(some of them are used a symbolism to get the job done in this piece).  I know that some areas may not flow well, but it's hard to do in a poem like this.  Without further delay, I present to you....whatever the heck this is that I just wrote.  I do hope you enjoy it, but please feel free to be honest if you don't.  Tell me what you think the story is in this! :)

Awaken the Guardian

Aflame Arcadia awakens aggrieving affliction

Behaving beyond blasphemously

Comatose creation carrying constant confliction

Deprecate dream desires derelict

Evoke extravert evolution, exorcize execution

Forever follow flyleaf fields

Guard, guide, glow, gloss, glorify globally

Hummingbird harvesting Heaven

Instigate infinite incandescent insurgence

Jumpstart Jupiter, jovial Juniper

Kindle kinetic kindness, kaleidoscopic knight

Lament love lost, let life's lantern

Massacre matte music, meliorate matrixes

November night nova now nuanced

Oneness oncoming out of ominous omnibus

Pacifier, paint panchromatic patterns

Quaint quantum, quest, quit quiescence

Rain, reticent, raiment, radiate recourse

Society's salvation sleeps, sculpted shrouded

Till tangible tranquility touches the terrain

Until universal unity unravels unto us

Vaporize violence, vanquish Vampires

Whimsical world warden, wild Wizard

Xenophobic xandria Xerox xenon

Yore youthful yearned, yowling "Yuletide!"

Zealous zither, zircon zodiac, zip zillion Zions 

So, what do you think the story is?  :)  

Author's Note

All I have to say is everything after V became an absolute nightmare for me to write because there were so few words for me to use. Anyway, tell me what you think! Was this worth the effort? :)

My guess is the same as the Perkele dude. It's the night Jesus was born. :)) Yep, I can tell the last bits were a nightmare, but great job! You really poured your efforts here. Also, I really liked these lines:

"Society's salvation sleeps, sculpted shrouded
Till tangible tranquility touches the terrain
Until universal unity unravels unto us"

I think in the whole poem it was the bit that made most sense (at least to me) which is impressive since the poem looks highly complicated. Thank you for posting this! :)

Like Perkele, you are right in some sense. It can be interpreted that way, but the story behind it that I came up with is somewhat different. Don't worry, unless you want me to tell you, I won't ruin the fun of speculation. Those lines were a few of the ones that really came easily to me(which is probably why they are easy to understand). Thanks for reviewing, I'm glad you like this! :)

[Maja]

Hmmm.. I will figure it out. :))

[jeannemarie coulter]

what to say...fun read...thought provoking and i want to meet the Pacifier, painting panchromatic patterns...may be they will glaze some of my dragons...chuckling onward into darkness...jc

[DoormanDan]

Those dragons would be very bright(which would be nice, since all we keep getting where I live are thunderstorms after thunderstorms after thunderstorms uugggghhhsiothaowihfusdfl). Thanks for the review :)

[Nyanachi]

Incredibly brightly put together, what a mind you must have to craft such a masterpiece. This is nothing but beautiful. :) 100/100

[DoormanDan]

Wow, I'm really glad you think so. Thank you so much for this fantastic review :)

[Emily]

I love it!
I just love how you used the alphabet in it! I kinda want to try it!
Well done!

[DoormanDan]

I'm really glad you like this! I would recommend trying this if you want; it's a good way to improve both your vocab and your writing ability, but just note that the further into the alphabet you get, the harder it will get. Thanks for reviewing this Emily :)

Perhaps you are wishing to awaken the Supreme Being. The way our nation is heading, some may be thinking He is asleep. BUT HE isn't. Valentine

[DoormanDan]

You've come closer than anybody else to nailing it perfectly with the meaning. That is definitely one way that it can be interpreted. Think on a smaller scale, and you'll be even closer to my definition(which isn't the only definition, as anybody can interpret this however they want to) :)

[Goldstein]

I really enjoyed this poem! I'm still pondering the story, but suffice to say amazing writing.

[DoormanDan]

Thanks for the review, I'm glad you liked this! :)

[Perkele.7885]

The Night Before Christmas!

[DoormanDan]

That is definitely one way it can be taken. I won't ruin the fun of speculation by telling you what the actual story is, unless you want to know(in which case I'll just message you so I don't ruin it for other writers who review this) :)

[Perkele.7885]

was I close?

[DoormanDan]

You were on the right track. I can't really think of a good hint to give to help you(I'm not good with hints) :)

I always say that experimenting with different writing forms is great. It enhances your professionalism and improves your writing. I enjoyed reading this, and glad you tried writing an acrostic poem. it's not an easy one to write :)

[DoormanDan]

I agree with that, experimenting does have the potential to enhance one's work. I wrote an acrostic poem before, so I decided to make this even more challenging by forcing myself to make a story when every word in a line has to begin with the letter that started the line. I'm really glad you thought this was worth the effort :)

[guy drori]

Every challenge is worth the effort :)
Thank you for sharing it
