Amazing use of descriptive words, I was intrigued as i was enjoying the poem. I like your style, if this is your style, of using different words that begin with various letters because it really makes you think of a variety of words to choose from. Made me feel like I was there.
You did a great job!

Comment from Broken Fingers
Not a veggie this one!
Great use of the alphabet, I love "Laggards, Lunch?" It is strange how we invest monstrous characteristics into some animals and not into others, why not vilify the vole, or serenade the snake.
Good stuff!

villifying the vole, now there's a philosophical question for the ages! LOL Thanks so much for your fun review :-)

I like the words and the alliteration in this poem and find it to be enjoyable and interesting to read. Your expressions indicate a broad vocabulary. Well done.

Great picture. This describes the habits of your subject the alligator very well. I enjoyed your format, and your word selection will really helped paint the scene in your reader's mind.

You nailed the critter! I live in gator country in S. Florida and volunteer in the Everglades. This is a wonderfully true but poetic and imaginative description. I especially liked the last stanza. You even captured the gator's movements and deceptions. I will keep this one. babbi

thank you - I only ever see gators at the zoo, so it's nice to hear from someone who knows them that I got it right! :-)
Comment from Ginny
Great work - and I still believe that you could have, with very little extra effort, made it with the missing 'd' 'g' 'i' 'j' 'o' - even the 'q'!!
Great idea, clever use of alliteration, adverbs for dramatic effect.

your comment confuses me a little as the d, g, i, o and q are all in the poem - I just reread it to make sure :-) Perhaps you missed them because they are not the first word of a line? But they are still in alphabetical order. Glad you still liked the poem even when you thought they were missing! :-) Thank you!
-
Of course you're right! They are indeed all there - well done!
However, as it is written free verse, I believe that it would have been more effective if you had used these words too in the first line (perhaps with the addition of one or more short words) to clearly illustrate the use of the whole alphabet. This could be just me. As I said, great poem - thank you.
