The world of letters
brings stories to life
A magical number — twenty-six!

From A to Z
the Alphabet parade
twenty-six companions
in every adventure
prose or rhyme
creating worlds
awe and wonder
combined

On ink and paper
a writer’s BFF
the letters dance
weaving their spell

Unveiling endless mysteries
home to creative strides
A magical number — twenty-six!

Thank you to Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她) for the prompt: magical number 26 and for considering this response for her publication. The first thing that came to mind as I read her prompt was the twenty-six letters in the alphabet and their almost magical role in storytelling. As faithful companions to writers of all stripes, they parade from A to Z, inspiring prose and rhyme, weaving spells with ink and paper, uncovering endless mysteries, and embracing the boundless realms of creativity. Join me — dear reader — on this enchanting journey and share your creations using the magical twenty-six letters far and wide!

Thank you for reading!
