    June,
    Thanks for your review. A music fest it is. There are actually more instruments that did not make the list. It really is a world filled with music.

This musical Abecdarian Poem is very clever and well-written. The instruments an almost be heard when reading the well-imagined descriptions. An excellent example of this format of poem. Thanks for sharing.

This is a very creative posting teaching about musical instruments and other connected items and things like tenors and yodeling. It was a very enjoyable read, especially as it is an Abecdarian poem which are not easy to write.

I found this amazing and enjoyable to read.
Harmonium and Zither were the only two I was not familiar with, so I learned somehing today while reading your Abecdarian poem.

Thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest.

Hi Barry,
This abecdarian shows how far reaching music is in our lives and a lot of the history of our present day instruments.
I don't think you need the AND because it takes away the strength of the final rhyme of get and Alphabet.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Good luck in the contest.
Have a great day.
Joan

Fun! I loved it and I'll love reading it to the grandkids. "Rhapsody in Blue" has long been my favorite, and music is always the best to lift a mood!

    They already "tolerate" "Rhapsody in Blue" as I "converse" with them about how every kind of music is important... I'll read it to
    them for SURE!
