This abecedarian poem, Arr-kee-all-oh-gee, follows the twenty-six letters through this acrostic and finds the fun in digging up the past. Nice rhyme placements.

A very well-written abecderian poem about archeology and what it all is about, seartching for artifacts in the dirt and under the ocean to see how old our mother earth could be.

I enjoyed reading your Abecedarian contest entry.
Your enthusiasm for Archeology shines through each line.
You make it sound like fun and not drudgery at all.
The lines flow well, and I like the addition of rhyme which is
not always easy to do with this form.
Good luck in the contest.
Nancy

This is the second post about archeology I've read I the last two days - nust be something in the air.

Running the table on the alphabet is hard enough, but you do it with rhymes - impressive (viceless and priceless - my personal favorite) and you get creative with "x".

Most impressively, you didn't sacrifice coherence or message in crafting this - like the other archeology poem I read (I wish I could remember who wrote it) this poem shines a light on just how cool that science is. Nice.

Good free verse poem using the alphabet, making it a great Abecdarian Poem. Archaeology is something I always wanted to do. Digging into ones pass is reveling the truth of what they were and what they did. Thank you for sharing your walk through the world.

An Abecdarian Poem that actually tells a cohesive story - now there's an achievement! This flows very well and also maintains a pleasing rhythm for the most part. Just a couple of suggestions that might help separate the lines better, without a hanging connector...
"something that (the)
Kings of the past"
and
"etched in stone (their)
Rules to abide"

I enjoyed your phonetic title - quite an eye-catcher!
