X is always the most difficult letter for me in the A-Z Challenge so instead of my normal alliterative poem here is this offering instead!
When I started school at five X was for X-ray and Xylophone
(which didn’t make sense!)
When I was a little older X was for Xanadu and Xanthe
faraway
& fantasy
When I started Secondary school X was for Xenon and Xylems scientific & special
When I left secondary school X was for Xeroxes and Xanthan
gum process & production
When I did “A” Levels X was for Xerxes and Xenophobe
history
& hatred
Now I am this old X is for Xhosa and Xerus
reading & relaxation
Looking forward to reading everyone else's X. When do you remember learning certain words beginning with X? Did you ever get the pronunciation wrong? Are you a crossword or Scrabble enthusiast who loves X? Leave a comment below to let us all know :)
Wonderful "X" post. as we get older our range of words do widen. Enjoyed the read.

ReplyDeleteXerxes reminds me of the charecter in the movie 300.

I really like the rhythm of your X post Cat.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of that Lukas Graham song:) This X can be hummed--not bad for a letter you find tricky.
Y is for Yellow
Lovely X post. It's such a tricky letter to cover for the challenge, but you've handled it beautifully.
