Your alphabet poem its amazing with beautiful concepts about life and a certain nostalgia for good old times. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest and your writings.

Thanx so much, Iza, for your review on this one, my lady!! ;) This was my first one in a while that I've actually had the time to sit and think and let the muses loose (LOL!)... glad you enjoyed! ;) Hope this finds you with a smile for the day and happiness to share: goodness knows we need MORE of both! :) ;) Take care! ;) Yvette
Comment from robyn corum
Yvette,
What a creative and appropriate post - especially for this season in the US. People want to believe everything they hear and see in the media but everyone has an agenda. It's seems that it would be so clear to PONDER what you hear and decipher the truth for oneself, instead of being 'fed' everything.
Idk. I guess this is a sore spot with me. We, as a nation, are becoming so divided - and I feel like it's girls in junior high again with everyone LOOKING to see how they can get their feelings hurt. You can't LIVE that way. Ugh.
Such a creative way to do things here - but that's you in a nutshell. Thanks so much

Oh, the vibrations are JUST LIKE the middle school hallways back when I was full time... JUST as mature, and JUST as much consideration for future consequences. UGH!! I would say the consequences of not teaching critical thinking (i.e., 'teaching to the test') are coming home to roost...
Thanx for your review on this one, Robyn - was my first one in a while that I've actually had the time to sit and think and let the muses loose (LOL!)... glad you enjoyed! ;) Hope this finds you with a smile for the day and happiness to share: goodness knows we need MORE of both! :) ;) Take care! ;) Yvette

Comment from Alchera
Myopic crowds refuse to see
Nowhere is candor guaranteed.
Of course humanity is flawed,
Patent denial's intrinsic fraud...
Still, would you recognize it?
Yes, what could I add to your amazing and wonderful explanation and questioning of today's world historical sicknesses?
People are getting tired and angry about everything and are mostly against the nation's ill government. Faith is an illusion but it is the only thing we can still hold on! Great provoctive work! Sorry, I have no sixes|

Very nicely done and a poem after my own heart. You've used excellent language and this style is cool, too. I've never tried such, but may now because of this work. Well done. Bruce.

Comment from karenina
Original and challenging and fun to see you succeed the march through the alphabet A to Z--and in a series of ABC poems no less! Ten extra points for "Xanthous" by the way---that darn "X" is the bane of poets everywhere and one can only use xenophobic so many times! (smile)--Good luck in the contest!--Karenina

Comment from Patty Palmer
Sensational!! I love it!! You hit many things people need to open up their eyes to the way out world is going down the drain! And it's nobody's fault that that fires in California are burnng. The fact that this racial crap hs been brewing for a long time. We're all a different race. It's the way God made us and that's good enough for me. But this rioting has got to stop and there are innocent people dying that aren't a part of this thing. And when little babies, toddlers and young chidren are shot in the head, in a playgroundin broad daylight and it happens every day, and no one is stopping it, this world is in bad shape! Good luck with the contest!

Comment from Gypsymooncat
I'm glad you went all out on this, you eccentric blonde, you. This is wonderful! You've managed to use every alphabet letter without turning out a poem that sounds forced and stiff; instead, it flowed along like white wine...hmm...yum, wine o'clock's not far off so it appears... I loved it and reckon it was awesome and wish you best luck in the contest, although I don't think you'll need it!
