In reading your well written poem, I could not help but wonder if it was written about me. It perfectly describes my life.
As they say, we might suspect you might be getting old when almost all your favorite actors and musical artists are either dead or retired. :-)
Thanks for sharing this. JW

This poem probably is relatable by most people over the age of 60. Thanks for reading and commenting.
Comment from Rondeno
Apart from a couple of grungy spots (the lame life/strife rhyme, the arbitrary xylophone, just to complete the alphabet), this is an impressive testament.

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
You tell a good, sometimes sad, story of your life in this abecdarian poem. You have penned some lovely words that I'm having difficulty saying which I like best. Your optimism shines through so I'll settle for 'Grand ideas fell apart, you see, But I'm high on life' - Long may you remain that way and Good Luck in the competition

This is a great abecdarian poem using all 26 letters of the alphabet. Great rhyming scheme, good rhythm and cadence. I enjoyed reading this one.

Tears on my pillow from fears;
Understanding new routine of life.
Vanishing breed. I have overcome strife,
You live a good long time if you only stick to it and behave. There is so much you can do now to save your own life.

This is a beautiful auto-biographical abecedarian poem. The author gives us a very personal glimpse of her/his life. I think you have a great attitude. Take care,

That is a great take on a life! Nice poem about various things; from the love of trees to humour and hurricanes.
It flows well and is interesting, has heart.

WOW! I love the stream of consciousness that you have employed in this poem and I am very glad that you intrepidly were able to vent some of the moments of happiness and melancholy that you have experienced in your life. An absolutely powerful piece of poetry.
