Comment from Thomas Bowling
When my first wife and I divorced I lived alone and let the dishes pile up until one day I scooped them up and carried them out with the trash. That's when I accepted that it was over.

Hi Thomas:
Did you buy disposable? A monumental amount of dirty dishes is always an instrumental vehicle for epiphanies, in my experience. Of course, most of the time the epiphany is more of a lament... why did I let the pile get so high! In this particular case, I've decided that spending time with the family is more important than worry about a mess that I can clean the next day.
Thank you for taking the time to read and review.

"Left Dishes in a Pile" is a poem filled with such a big mixture of memories. You hit home with families and sure do mix great love and pleasure with endless labor. Very enjoyable.

Hi Marie,
Left Dishes was written the day after the kids came over for Easter dinner. Just all my thoughts while I was cleaning up the mess. Truly a labor of love, but worth it to just enjoy the family time on the holiday. Thank you for taking the time to read and review. It was great to see you again last night!

Great art work for these
words written for this poem.
A typical scene when children
are in the kitchen, I guess
they like to help, love
can and does last a long time.

Sometimes we see a scene which reminds us of the left overs of the fun we had and seeing dishes piled up sometimes brings back the joy of a moment, well expressed with wonderful sentiments, love Dolly x

Well, my goodness! What a totally awesome entry! I don't believe I've ever seen an ABC poem this long, rhymed so very well. And charming to boot!! The artwork is fantastic, I thought it was a 'Norman Rockwell' until I read your wonderful notes!! Perfect!! Blessings...

Comment from Mustang Patty
thank you for sharing your entry for the ABC poetry contest. This piece does more than fulfill the requirements of the poetic form; it tells a story of a loving family gathered for the holiday. With each dish you washed, a memory came to find you getting closer and closer to the bottom of the pile. Great imagery here,

Comment from Pantygynt
I cannot recall having seen the ABC format used this way in a narrative poem before. In fact I had read to the end and taken in the homely humour of the story before I noticed the little blue underlinings at the end. It was only then I appreciated the difficulty of the task you had undertaken and consummate way in which it was completed. My father was a jounalist and our house was full of papers and magazines from all over the English speaking world. I feel sure I am familiar with Falter's style.
This was cleverly done.

Hi Pantygynt:
Thank you for a delightful review of my ABC poem. It drives me crazy when the ABC, Abecdarian, or even acrostics are more of a laundry list of letters rather than seamless and cohesive pieces of poetry. That is what I was hoping to achieve here, and by your review, I feel that was a success. I always appreciate your comments.
