"My Auroraborealphabet comprises twenty-six..."The Abecedarian's Abecedarium: A Constrained Alphabet of Alphabets in Rhyme

My Auroraborealphabet 
comprises twenty-six
atmospheric curiosities 
in Technicolor pics.

My Bacchanalphabet delights 
in rites of Dionysus.
For ‘S’ the matter’s satyr plays. 
For ‘I’ the subject's ISIS.

My chapbook, Chaparralphabet
shows six and twenty plants.
Each blooms in northern Baja, 
there its scrubland to enhance.

My so-called Donegalphabet 
commends the Em’rald Isle.
(I wrote as well a Dalphabet
Afghanistani-style.)

My gem, my Emmentalphabet, 
unfurled a world of cheese:
Areeshes through Zanetti parmigianos. 
(Jeez! No Bries!)

I penned a Femmefatalphabet. 
Dark ladies shape its theme:
those Mses who emasculate, 
those Mrses who scheme.

Apace I traced my Galphabet 
of naughty girls and nice.
I proffer'd them, should not 
my Femmefatalphabet suffice.

Please don’t forget Halalphabet. 
It features food taboos.
Okay are artichokes and ziti. 
Not okay is booze.

My International’phabet 
posts patriotic songs.
Some ten plus two require kazoo. 
(Just one needs Chinese gongs.)

You might enjoy Joualphabet
My trips to Montreal
exposed me to their language blue – 
in Quebecoisey drawl.

My curious Kanalphabet 
portrays the manhole covers
of Polish cities – twenty-six! – 
much rummaging discovers.

In viewing my LoCalphabet
do dieters explore
the benefits of kelp and grits? 
They do, for less is more.

My Mygalsalphabet corrals 
those gals with punk reputes –
tarts, hookers, slags, streetwalkers, hags, 
loose women, prostitutes.

Behold Neanderthalphabet! 
Ancestral tales it tells –
from Australos through salmon roes 
to simple single cells. 

My Freud'an Oedipalphabet 
lists psychoanalytical
complexes in a nexus.
(Some folks say I'm hypocritical.) 

My Pastoralphabet portrays 
poetical bucolics
where shep- and cowherds schlep through cow turds.
Frolics. Rollics. Bollix!

( a work in progress)
