Hi JPilcher. What a clever ABC poem it took me a little while to work out the letters MNOP down the side as I was having a giggle at your story Minnow Ha Ha. It's quite funny listening to someone mis- interpret a line in song or such so I can sympathize with your 4 year old self and Mothers tend to hang onto these stories LOL My kids always think it's funny to hang one on me also Cheers for a fun post and good luck in the contest .Something different good job Cheers Christine

A very well-written ABC poem with a little humor about a childhood mix-up with the ABC, maybe you practice this form of poetry back then already. Lol.

Fun story -- especially with incorporating your mother's pride in retelling your experience. My youngest brother thought the alphabet needed a psychiatrist-- he would recite....L...M....mental...P
You aren't the only one who was challenged by the "m..n..o..p"
Thanks for sharing your fun story and evoking a memory in your readers.

Comment from Just2Write
Ha! I struggled with ABC's and still do to this day. This is an interesting ABC Poem, in that it is not subscribing to any kind of meter - It is free verse, which although rare, is perfectly fine for an ABC poem.
I enjoyed reading this submission.

Are you saying you were missing the N? I'm a little confused, actually. Sorry. I've never seen an ABC poem done quite this way, as a prose piece, instead of a poem. Clever, but I'm not sure it qualifies...? Good luck, anyway!

Thanks for taking time to review, much appreciated!!
It's okay if you didn't follow, but if you look down the left hand side of the 1st 4 lines, you'll see 4 letters of the alphabet (L, M, N & O). I used to think that after L came "minnow".
Comment from loismddavis
This is a very cute little story and I finally got it after reading it over several times. I want to give you credit for a prose poem--which it would be with a couple of poetic elements. If you read it aloud your will find the rhythm rather uneven.

What an interesting way to tell a childhood story using the ABC poem. Very cute and fun all in one. No picture was indeed cause I could image you sitting there. Good luck in the contest.
