STRUCTURE:  ABCDarian (Alphabet) Poems are fun and

are often just a list ~ Q X & Z always present a problem !

In the case of Cities Q X & Z are not a problem therefore

I decided to invoke two important elements that give any

Poem its FLOW ~ I am a Performance Poet. These key

elements are Rhyme & Rhythm !  Each line is written in

Iambic Tetrameter (8 syllables per line) and the Rhyme

Pattern is Rhyming Doublets (aa bb cc etc). Some of the

Rhymes are (whaat we call) HALF RHYMES (Cuzco and

Frenso etc)  There are only nine lines (to accommodate

26 Cities) so the final line has Internal Rhyme ! To keep

the Rhythm and the Flow.  I hope this helps the READER

to understand how the poem was constructed ~ XOXOX
