Hello Yvette.

This is a very creative and unusual ABC poem. Artistically it is written in a unique fashion but also includes a strong contemporary message.

Since I like different ways of doing things, I like this particular post very much because it is quite different.

Nice going, and good luck in the contest.

    Thanx so much, Z! Not only for your comments but for those awesome stars and what they have to say as well (and, yes, I strive for 'different' - lol!)! :) ;) This was my first poem in a while that I actually had the time to sit and think and let the muses loose (LOL!)... just so much going on these days, ya know?! ;) Hope this finds you with a smile for the day and happiness to share, sir! :) ;) Take care! ;) Yvette

I've heard lots of things written, not only the horror and the grief, the the relatives, family, friends that will never see their loved ones again. But also the bravery and commitment of the many heroes, and I'm sure angels walked among them. I also heard the towers were a symbol of Nimrod's Tower of Babel, representing the power of wealth, beautifully written, a magnificent tribute to thst fate-filled day, well done Yvette, blessings, Roy

Hello Ms. Roger,
I pray you are doing well. This is such an awesome creative Alphabetic Ruminations & ABC poem. Your rhyming in your poem is greatly done. Yes, you did go all out in presenting this A - Z poem. Also, I love your imagery of the red, white and blue photo. This was such an enjoyable read of each of your alphabets. Great job. Happy future writing:-)

You certainly put a lot of thought into this poem, including rhyme, meter and a though provoking message. I am impressed with your use of the alphabet and content of the poem.

Hats off for the effort to fit into that alphabet scheme. That took some work and you pulled it off with some rhythm and some great echoing effects. We feel the tension in the air too as the nation gets shaken by all these forces and the uncertainty of the election hangs in the air. Hard to hold onto anything in this quaking...estory

Fantastic entry! I particularly enjoyed the part about revolution's not so far away and watershed moment for red, white and blue. Very well packed and good luck with the competition.

Thank you for announcing your poem with the striking "America" painting. I am so impressed that you presented the entire alphabet in this ABC Poem. Your use of rhymes and the refrain are a special touch. Your "going all out" for the contest is much appreciated and makes this poem a clear winner- Joan
