This is a poem about a fallen Opera Singer, it was a bit of a challenge to write seeing as the idea was to make every sentence start with the letter A. I hope you'll all enjoy it. The meaning of words are at the bottom in a list of order of appearance.

A+ A- |
Absolutely charming, was she who sang that day;
Active in her practice, she spun about the stage;
Appealing in her looks, she lifts a hand again;
Alert in her gaze, she holds them captivated;
Awarded with merit, such is to be appreciated;
Admirable in her approach, her voice surrounds the listeners;
Approval to be gained, she raises a second hand and sings again;
Absorbing the Italian, a somewhat aloof audience praises the words;
Abditive a boy stands listening at the back of the stage;
Abject was he that stood in secret, mouth hung open as he listened;
Adorning her head, the golden circlet sat, a pretty penny to be sure it cost;
Awaiting the ending, the crowed soon cheering, the boy found himself lost;
Accipitral he waited in her quarters, a bath was drawn behind a cloth curtain;
Accolent the bath, sat a dresser tall and still, upon which would rest the impending prize;
Adamentine was the woman's choice on taking a bath, soon shedding her garments;
Alastrim caused the boy to cough, a towel wrapped around her obtuse frame, the woman steps out;
Aware of his plight, the boy fled the scene, chased by an angry opera singer who was rather without;
Any man, or woman, or child in sight pointed and laughed at the ensuing fight;
Alegar couldn't have made her expression sourer the moment she realised clothing she had not;
Aghast she glanced to the boy's pockmarked skin, shriek that'd do the banshees proud resounded;
An alogism flew from her mouth, confused the boy turned as she leaped away and fled up the alley;
Amnicolist was he, and hard to find at that, the ships were many the ratways were hidden!
Accidental was his mistake, his theft a failure, the coppers hot on his heels till the river they reach;
"Ambsace!" Said he who lost the boy, now hidden among the ratways and tunnels under the city large;
Anaerectic was the woman's rage, tables flipped and papers strewn, a shout of rage;
Analgia she seemed to have, slamming fists onto walls and doors, a stage hand now lay unconscious;
Aponia turned this singer to a flamer as she swung left and right, men now cowering in fear;
An attempt to arefy the anger the manager produced a box of chocolates, placated she drew near;
Arrepituous was she holding the chocolates closely, ignoring her anaerectic rage a sigh was breathed;
Athymia set in for those she had decked, holding noses and cheeks, ice pressed to eyes so bruised;
Adamentine was not her anger, for it soon had parted and so had she leaving ruin in her wake;
Aulic was she now as she swept from the room in nothing but a towel but not one word was spoke;
And so it was upon the eve of the morning, opera house renewed, that she did awake and did croak;
As her voice was so hoarse from the yelling and the ranting, asleep was she in the hay of a barn;
A towel for a blanket, a bale for her pillow, filthy and cold she let out a wail for even a string of yarn;
Azure was the morning sky, and beautiful was the morning, but crying and whining she dare not enjoy it;
