You really went above and beyond the standard ABC structure by also having the last words of each line in this format- and in rhyme! Very creative and well-done! Good luck!

Those are the best kind of stories! Great job in not only making your acrostic poem at the start of each line but also at the end of each line! Hope this does well in the contest!

    Hi there Helen. Thanks so much for the kind words for my A B C D E poem. It was fun adding the challenge of monorhyme, and add the last word too with the consecutive letter, as well as beginning and still make the stor make sense. Thanks again for your very kind comments, my dear friend

This poem is a fun read, because not only do the first words go in alphabetical order, but the last word of each line does the same thing. I'm not sure who the Bob was from the original story you heard of, but nice job re-telling the account. Good luck in the contest.

This is a good entry to the ABC poetry contest. The text is a good size. The message is clearly stated and easy to understand. Thank goodness for people like Bob.

Hi author, great contest entry. Your poem reads and flows well, and your message is clear. I like how the beginning word, and the ending word, of each line started with the same letter. Of special note:

Every cent of all his millions, gave to kids from Everywhere
(I would bet the bank that that Busy Bob remained an anonymous donor.)

Well done; well said. Excellent photo choice. As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck. LateBloomer

A great story in few words. You show compassion and caring for others, and a selfless man giving back to what he believes in. His further generosity shown at the end.

This is an excellent poem about an impressive, selfless guy. I love the way you not only started each line in alphabetical order, but ended them as well. Well done!

2 minor suggestions to improve the iambic meter:

Instead of: "Big Bob picking up garbage, on the beaches in Bel~Air"
try this: "Big Bob picked up the garbage, on the beaches in Bel~Air"

Also, instead of: "Did not think of himself, only the children in Despair"
try this: "Did not think of himself, but just the children in Despair"

    Hi Jim, I am kinda behind on my reviews, but nevertheless still trying to let you know how much I appreciate you. I have a feeling I have changed those things for the better already, but still appreciate you!

What a nice, warm story. If Bob is still alive, he should be roaming the streets of L.A., or San Fran cleaning up those needles left by the panhandling masses.
