W3 Prompt #200: Wea’ve Written Weekly

I was this week’s POW! Thank you, Elizabeth, for this honor!

Christine’s prompt: Alphabetic poetry

Write an alphabet poem using one of the following two structures:

A Ballet of Sorts

A beautiful choreography
dedicated
Especially for girls
Hoping idealistically
Juxtaposed kinship
Laced meaningfully
Narrated optimism
Proving quickly
Righteousness survives
Together under 
Veils Xenially
Yet Zenithal

Hidden in Plain Sight

Amidst shadows and darkness
Belies the happiness
Covered in a veil
Developed to protect
Even the most sensitive
Fears that exist
Giving in to longing
Hoping a light will shine
Inside the soul
Just within reach
Knowing there’s a side
Longing to escape
Marginalization
Negates
Optimism
Purely to hold down
Quiet
Resilience
Silenced
Temporarily
Under the illusion
Verified by 
Witnesses unknowingly
Xenial
Yet
Zealously optimistic
