For a Snicket forum, this section is sure lacking constrained writing games.
Here we play a game of creating free-form poems where the first letter of each word spells the alphabet, in order. (Idk if that's still called an acrostic, but I like the alliteration in the thread title.) You don't have to do the whole alphabet, and - as in all poetry - you're only marginally bound by syntax and grammar.
I'll start:
A bad cup drops every five grams. Half in, just kinda low. Mild nectar of perspective: Question really silly teacups under very wet xylophones. Yep, zing!

Albert Benettton collected data, Edward Figgins got hacked in July. Knowing lawyers, managing numerous operations, Peter Quell really stopped thinking, unsurprisingly vital without Xanax: yearning zombies.

ample butter covers drab eatings, for ghastly heightened increments, just knowing lime means never pro quesadilla rights, some tableware under very wet xeric yellowed zone.

a big cuddly dragon eats funny goblins, happily injesting, joyful knives lopping membranes, no organs protected. Quite right, says the unknown vanquisher with xylophones yesterday zinging.

"are bear caves dingy?" "entirely." "for grottoes, how is't?" "just knackered." "languishing? musty?" "no." "oh? please, quit ribbing." "stop telling untruths? very well." "xenophobic?" "yes." "zounds!"

Actually, this just sounds like terrible song lyrics
able bodies, cosmic dogs enabling freedom gateways Hanging inside, Joking Knave. Lingering muscle, nervously occupied. Puncturing Quiverous Rapid Sensations. Taking undue violence with x-ray yearning Zoom

Awful beginnings collect dumb endings. For goodness heavens, illness justly kills love. "Man, nevermore," old Poe quoth Raven. Stop turning underneath veiled wishes. Xoxo, Yours Zruly

Anchored boats cruise deep, echoing fears, gliding high into jubilant kites, like magic, navigating oceans, peacefully quiet, raging storms, treacherous undercurrents, vast wilderness, xanthic yearnings, zenith.

All bad computers dined elegantly. Five giants happily ignored Joe's kind luncheon, making no promises. Quintillions rushed stores, they unearthed various wares. X-men yeeted Zortegus.

After bereavement, countless days empty, forever gone, hearts inconsolable, just keepsakes left, memories never forgotten, overwhelming pain, questions remain, sorrow taints, unyielding void, wounds x-acerbate, yearning zealously.

And beginning, created da earth first, God. Heaven in, Jehovah King: "Light!" Made night's opposite. Pleased, quantified rivers, soil. Then uprose vitalities: whales, xerophytes, yaks, zebras.
