I feel like I've just taken a stroll through the birthing room at the zoo and then some.

This is not an easy feat to go through the alphebet and write such a poem and then make sense of it. You did a great job.

    Yes, the making sense part is important, and that can take some time :-) Thank you, Brooke :-)

A very charming and well written poem. The imagery was very soft and fit the theme quite well. The flow was smooth and overall the piece left an impression on me. Nice job...

Eww, another ugly muse! Man, I would have rather seen the tralantula we discussed than that horrid beast. Just kidding (kind of). I like the poem, and didn't have reach for the dicitonary. Good Job.

I absolutely love this poem.It's so well put together and really well thought out. The thing that struck me most about this poem is that it reads down in alphabetical order,that's a really clever and unusual thing to do and I loved it. The words you use paints such a beautiful picture of the whole excitement surrounding new life "Anticipation, adorastion, Blessed births" you use really powerfull language that has great impact.

    this is part of a series -there have to be a dozen at least on site by now - I am glad you like it - they don't all have the same mood - some are sweet, some elegant, some spooky - but all about animals using this form - I hope you look at others :-) I'm so glad this one appeals to you.
    Thank you for your kind words, Brooke : -)

I always say that poetry and the stories on here, should be only about the words, and I still believe that, but the perfect picture can really make a poem come alive like your did, and the poem was perfect I really liked it and don't see any parts that don't mesh well together or anything like that! Great job.

    this kitty cat has gotten more raves that a pinup of Betty Grable, if you're old enough to get that reference - if you're in the mood to read my stuff tonight, please read the essay on being president - it is being neglected compared to my poems :-D Thank you!! Brooke

This is my second A-Z poem I have read today, I prefer this a little bit, the other one I had to whip out my dictionary. This is good poem with an even better transition

    I appreciate your liking this poem, and many readers have favorites among them - even I have favorites among my own poems. I still do not understand, however, why you would downgrade any poem because you had to look something up. Actually, when I've had to look a word up in someone's poem, I delight in learning a new word. :-) Brooke
