You made a wonderful job of this poem, Lynda. I'm not really a big fan of the ABC poem thingies, but you made a great job of it, explaining your journey through life in just 26 letters of the alphabet.
We're thinking about, Lynda ... don't you worry!
all the best

Comment from Matoshka
How beautiful and endearing. Great words of wisdom I found, no regrets, fences mended and living each moment in beauty with family who loves you so. I pray you will always have this peace and the love of God, that surrounds you. I am glad the winds of life have been gentle. May God Bless you richly and good luck in the contest. Blessings

Thank you so much, Matoshka. Just one error. . ."thewinds of life" were often not gentle at all but I toughed them out. livelylinda

You have seen long years with the funs and all.
This is a good poem flipping through the pages of years.
It is good you can tell it all in just few words.
Clapping.

Comment from Dean Kuch
Famous I shall never be, and,
Grand ideas fell apart, you see,
Never say never, it comes back to bite
You contradict yourself here, with the above lines, Linda. Nonetheless, this is a great poem proclaiming your love of life, despite your illness.
I, too, suffer from coronary disease. I had a defibrillator implanted in 2010, and am monitored 24/7, round the clock. My feet, ankles and legs swell frequently...it's unsettling and you do get a bit discouraged, at times. Ah, but, we have our writing, don't we? For what it's worth...
Nicely done...

It is not a contradiction, I am correcting myself as I write. But, anyway, thanks for reading. I'm in congestive heart failure now. When I lie down, I have chest pains, am tired much of the time and have the swelling legs and ankles. We are a mess, aren't we? And, yes, it helps to have our writing. Linda

Hah, yes, we certainly are, and it is a good thing to have at least that!
You're very welcome...

"ABCs of My Life" sounds like a very honest poem. It's quite difficult to write a abecedarian poem but you have done it very well.

This is an abecdarian filled with life and love and action, with a lot more to come, it seems. A life story well told with a very interesting pic to complement it.

Comment from Phyllis Stewart
Bravo! Well done!
Mended all fences from long ago fights,
Very wise, sadly most folks take grudges to their graves.
Never say never, it comes back to bite;
How very true!
Obviously is never obvious.
Verrrry profound statement!
Loved this one. Worth the effort it must have taken!

I enjoyed reading your heartfelt poem in abc form. You told a story in a easy to read tone that was direct and wise. I enjoyed the matter-of-fact manner, good alliteration and occasional rhyme. Nicely done Linda.

Powerful artwork. So mysterious and deep. Just like this poem. You are kind and so loving to bare your soul so openly in a poem. Creative and emotional. It came out great. Good luck in the contest.
Note: In E.... 'know there' should be 'knew they'

No, "knew they" would make no sense. . .I "know that there are mistakes". Thanks for reading. livelylinda

Okay... whatever works best is fine :)
Comment from STEPHEN A CARTER
A look at my past;
Being from the days of the dinosaurs,
Citing my words of collective wisdom,
Daring to find any mistakes made
Even when I know there were a couple;
Famous I shall never be, and,
Grand ideas fell apart, you see, but I'm
High on life, love the trees.
Ill from coronary heart disease, A great line
Jarring my life into new directions, but, LOVE 'jarring'
Keeping my sense of humor through it all;
Love my children, grands and great, 'g' allits
Mended all fences from long ago fights, 'f; allits
Never say never, it comes back to bite;
Obviously is never obvious.
Partied like it was "1999" in 1999 but
Quit that when the heart tried to quit, Double ending rhyme
Rest became my initiative and
Surgeries and procedures for years, 's' allits
(Tears on my pillow)from fears; Song title?
Understanding new routine of life.
Vanishing breed. I have overcome strife,
Weathering the storms of hurricane winds,
Xylophone music in my head; Love this line
Youthful as I try to be, my body is really 83!
Zippy, I have another wonderful day! FUUUNNNY!!!
Regards:
