An excellent and deserving contest entry. The somewhat relaxed unpretentious prose in the first half, using a good distribution of parts of speech, is particularly effective in drawing the reader in (a feature a number of other entries were missing). And the animated gif is a nice touch. Those things are getting better.

If the writing itself was less than a six, your visual presentation managed to take it to the next level.

    Thank you for the big sixer and for throwing the contest, H. I had fun with it. Yes, some of them just didn't quite do what you asking, if you ask me. What can you do? To be honest, I think using moving pics shouldn't really be allowed but when I saw this one I just had to use it. Lol. I appreciate the comments and huge rating, friend. I'm glad you liked the piece. I always love a good challenge. Have a good one and thanks again.

Poet this is quite the civilized composition of adjectives arranged in alphabetic order. You have successfully met the rules of this contest. Thanks for showing the depth of your vocabulary while submitting at the same time an enjoyable reading experience.

Wow! I'm very impressed you used the whole alphabet in this wonderful poem, which I didn't even realize was an abc poem until I read about the contest. That means it was unforced and natural sounding. I also loved the presentation with that beautiful picture and color scheme. Like you exclaim at the end, Bravo!

I gave you the extra star for using the X. I love learning new words and had never heard Xenia before, so thank you for explaining it in your notes. It sounds a bit like a girl's name.

    That's always what makes these hard, finding words to use for x and z. Lol. Thank you so much for the kind review and giant sixer, Sarah. I'm glad you liked the piece.

My interpretation of this body count
contest adheres to the sample given. This poem does not follow
the sample at all. I hope the author
meant the work presented here to
really go for another contest.

This is FAR SUPERIOR to the other entries so far! Your chosen words present a wonderful COHERENT story- thanks for including that "xenia" definition! Your poem is quite lovely including that beautiful image and the overall presentation. I also like the wrap around reusing a & b. Your adept effort clearly deserves the top rating! Good luck! PS, I had expected your poem to be nonsensical like some of the others; glad I decided to read it!

    Hey, Ida, hello. Thank you so much for the kind review and huge sixer. I think the contest sponsor letting us recontinue after Z helped a lot. I'm glad you stopped in for the read. Yes, sometimes when people do these they just come out jumbled. I wasn't having it. Lol. I dearly appreciate the gracious rating and good luck wishes, Ida. Thank you again.
