- L'Adieu -
Ah, alas that an "A"-less formula makes "cause and pause" - especially amidst all beautiful "art and nature" - lacking, (thankfully Labber), as an artistic "name and label," and failing as a "casual, and easy assay" -standing amid and amongst failed angry artists, (all watching), all sadly amiss (awry, askew, aslant), attempting national sabotage as an easy "ways and means" - as an attempt at making universal art as "artless and asinine" - as featuring a tasteless, unsavoury meal amongst flavourless sauces and gnashing fangs . . . alas, again - a heartfelt, sad, "A"-full rambling, - an epiphany announcing apocalyptic chaos ~ Amuck, adieu (after all) - Amuck (as always) . . . Farewell!
- An Amazing Admirer

Yvette,

Well, it's easy to see why this piece won the vote! I don't even have to read the others to know that none other could come close. Thevery opening was engaging and the fun never stopped from there.

It was like watching the whole creation process in a poem. *smile*

Congrats - well deserved!

Congrats on your 1st Place win! I didn't spot one "A" but you deserve one!
This is a clever poem with some lovely images. I particularly like "butterflies humming 'round the midnight sun." The artwork you chose complements your poem perfectly!

I do not think there could have been a finer example of poetic language without the use of the commonly used vowel "a". Can you tell I am impressed? (Lol) Congratulations on a most well-deserved win!

I like your focus on the butterfly, a wonderful image and a good subject to focus on. Your poetic form is smooth and there is a happy feel to your words. Congrats on winning the contest.

What a beautiful poem and a beautiful painting of butterfly. Yes. You manage well to write a poem without the letter A. You flex your wings of imagination without any inhibition.

Well done.

I think this is a good entry for the Life Without The Letter A writing prompt.
Your verse 'bout songs of butterflies is well done and fun.
Good luck to you with the contest.

It was as if I was floating down a stream. I hadn't a care in the world. Around me was every beauty Earth had to behold. And flying about me were the most delicate and beautiful creatures created.

Great!! It is sometime difficult to find so many words without "A"s, but you did! Very clever to use the contraction of words that have "A" with the apostrophe! Good wording that fulfilled requirement and also good rhyme.
