Tagxedo Theme: SoapboX Parade - a word with an X
Poetry Form: (Extreme) Shape poem - the shape of the letter X!
And even though the letter x is not at the beginning of the words, you would need the letter x to write this poem:
X is for X
Watch how this extraordinary fox
Examines how to exit this box.
He tripped a trap with his hi-jinx,
And calls for help from Mr. Lynx.
The extra help is not enough
This box it seems is really tough.
Exhaustion requires an extra hand.
Who’s the strongest in the land?
Here comes the famous Mr. Rex
His excellent muscles he will flex.
He tries and tries to no avail.
Who can we call that will not fail?
Exactly who can extricate
This fox from his box-toxic fate?
Extremely adept with an ax
Now he’s called on Mr. Max,
Who finally fixes this fox’s fix
Before the clock tick tocks to six.
Once exasperated to the extreme,
He’s home relaxed and ready to dream.
He’s home relaxed and ready to dream.
XXXxxxx....YYYyyyy.... ZZZZzzzz
