Excellent

Excellent poem entry for the Alliteration Body Count contest.

The free verse is not forced and flows well.

the structure makes sense, it draws on emotions and it presents strong images.

Good luck!!

Very well written. I enjoyed reading your poem. I love the beautiful artwork that you used. It goes perfectly with your poem. The words and meter flow well in your poem, and are not forced. Nicely done writing prompt contest entry. Good luck in the contest. Thank you for sharing.

hmm love this poem. It nicely captures the prompt and uses the ABC format in an interesting way - hitting all the letters but not in sequence. Well done.

A well-presented poem with an apt illustration! This is a real challenge to more than once through the alphabet! You need a good vocabulary and a fertile imagination!

This kind of poem is very tough to pull off. Whenever I have tried them, they come out like an alphabetical laundry list. Your poem was very balanced and made sense as I read it. Very well executed. Gretchen

Hi
I like how this poem about love starts and ends with the word love. It shows love is a mix of passion and pain which always brings you to try again until it lasts.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Good luck in the contest

This is an unusual ABC poem for the Alliteration Body Count contest, whatever that means. I read it a few times and then it all started to make sense. I wish you the best of luck. Ulla:)))

Ulla, I approached this with the goal of making a point, not just list words that are jumbled.

Great job on this difficult to write poem, and congratulations on using the entire alphabet. That was very impressive. It actually makes pretty good sense too! This should do very well in the contest.

Good

I didn't quite understand the message you were trying to get across. However, I liked that you went all through the alphabet, starting and ending with 'Love'.

Sarah, love can be so intense that it makes one to topsie-turvey like on an emotional rollercoaster, beginning and ending with and in love.

reply by Sarah Tummey on 27-Feb-2023

Thanks, that makes more sense.
