This is quite good, but if it were me, I would lose that A in the title just in case the CEC objects to it. Best of luck in this contest. I see that I am required to use 150 letters or symbols, but this should do it.

I like the personification of the letter "a". Making it a tempter and trickster. You beat him. Good luck in the contest. Keep writing

Very clever, using the poem to write about the format of the poem. Good job.
The picture is wild.
Good luck to you with the competition.

thanks, Sharon. Had a really good picture from Google but somehow screwed up the transposition. "I doesn't know nothin' about machinery." (one of my favorite sayings) :)

Mystery Poet,
I enjoyed your take on this contest. The rhymes are great. There is good flow. I like the message of how you personified the letter A.

Tiny suggestion
In your description box, you have a word that contains the letter a. Although the contest says no words with that letter in the poem or title, I would change it in that box too.

Best wishes. Jan
