This poem is called an abecedarian, a poem “in which the initial letters of the words beginning each line or stanza spell out the alphabet in order” (About.com), or, in this case, every word in each line beginning with each letter of the alphabet.
Adam Ballard could describe
Everything (that)
Goes,
Happens.
In just (a) kite’s lifetime,
nobody made off putting
(or) quaint remarks, saying
(he) tells us very wonderful
(things about) xylophones, zoology.
