You have done an outstanding job with this poem, Chrissy. Congratulations on winning the contest. Not only have you made the poem rhyme and utilized all those big words, you have used the alphabet letters A-Z and it makes sense. Marilyn

Absolutely awesome ABC poem using the entire alphabet!!! Very clever and very succinct and clear. No errors that I spotted that require a change to make it any better of a read. You have done a very fine job. Good luck in the contest. God bless and hugs, Susanne

Comment from rspoet
This is very nicely done
combining the prompt for ten letter words with
the alphabet poem form and rhyme works well
A lot of effort obviously went into this poem
As Little Red Riding hood said
"My, what large words you use"
"The better to win with," the poet replied
Unbeatable, it may be so
we'll just have to wait
and see how the voting goes
Good luck in the contest
Well done

Comment from joannakruk
What a clever amalgamation of the requisite words to actually create not only a rhyming, but a well flowing piece. I love how you address the challenge itself in the poem, not an easy task! Well done

First review (FOUR stars)
WOW! What an impressive entry to this contest, not just for the fabulous vocabulary choices but for making it an ABC INTERNALLY too. Wonderful! ON top of that, it RHYMES and has a rhythm AND a message and theme. Bravo. A strong contender for my vote
I don't think it was necessary to define many of the words. Most people know YOURSELVES, KEYBOARD, WILLINGNESS, GENERATION, UNBEATABLE, etc for examples!
NOTES:
The flow is good read aloud, but I felt it would be ideal with in-line commas in these lines:
And(,) if you've Calculated(,) you'll find what I mean
But(,) for the Eccentrics(,) the longer the test
Yet(,) if you're Factitious(,) the shorter the best.
*
It's the new Generation that's leading the way(;)
They are quite Hedonistic and have much to say.
*
Still I have Keyboarded and not used my pen
You have listed in the glossary the NOUN form of KEYBOARD but it is used as a verb here with an ED on it.
*
I'll write a Manuscript scribed by my own hand(, or ;)
Be really Noteworthy the best in this land.
*
I will stay Optimistic and believe in myself(-- or ;)
Not ever Paradoxical or remain on the shelf.
*
No(,) I'll be Quintessential when I write my text(,)
Ever so Reasonable not make you seem vexed.
I'll sound so Scholastic(,) so clever in mind
They'll be no Tormentors(,) just all very kind
For sure(,) I'm Unbeatable and bound now to win
*spacing typo:
But for true Willingness to stick to the quest
*
Have been so Xenogeneic(,) this one I like best.
So(,) just be Yourselves (no space) and rate how I've done(,)
Forgive my Zigzagging(no space) these words just for fun.
I really enjoyed your zigzagging. It would have my vote except for all the nits in the lack of in-line punctuation (which is not 'wrong' but it makes the reader work too hard) --and the fact that some lines have end-line punctuation while others do not, making the reader also have to work on figuring out enjambments.
In such a long and dense poem, these points matter more, so I have to give an honest four stars, though other aspects would garner a six.
I still may vote for this, though. It's the best I've read thus far. So impressive! Also, bravo for having none of those big ABC words sounding forced.
Good luck
Warmly, rd
