I don't think you guys will be seduced by my assignment 2, sorry :/

I also had a hard time writing poem number two. Originally, I wanted to do the first option (was anyone brave enough to take a stab at it?) because I thought it sounded really cool. I ended up mixing up the whole point of the poem and writing it straightforward, and then I tried to copy and paste my sentences so that the last was the first and so on, but it was a lost cause. Kudos to anyone who managed to do the narrative option. So after my disaster of a poem I resigned myself to option number two. I tried in vain to write puns, but that wasn’t happening either. Just as I was starting to lose hope of ever completing this assignment, I again took a look at Blah-Blah. I tried my hand at writing something similar, except I didn’t really move on from the letter A. So as it turns out, my poem is entirely comprised of words starting with the letter A (I absolutely couldn’t think of a title, so I lamely borrowed Dr. Seuss on this one: Big A Little A, What Begins with A?). I think it fits with the idea of tension and propulsion. Even though it makes no sense, I tried to make the poem sound like a story and not like a bunch of random words thrown together, and I think the alliteration definitely moves it along, so we’ll see… I hope you guys won’t get a headache reading it!
