Okay, this deserves a six. You have done an outstanding job with the challenge offered. Your ABC words flow smoothly and make sense! I hope you do well in the contest because you deserve to.

To be honest I think that this is just brilliant. The form is incredibly hard but you have managed to produce a poem that reads well and actually makes sense. I am truly impressed so good luck with it

Just awesome and I am sure the clear cut winning entry that I have read so far. Great graphic and the words were like a zipper, each one fitting into the next. Bravo.

Comment from dragonpoet
Hi
This is a good abecedarian poem with two extra lines. This poem uses single words to describe a ballerina's performance and the audience's response to it.
This poem fit the body part of the contest. But the alliteration (first letters of words are same sound) I don't see. I think you used consonance and not alliteration. I may be wrong.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Good luck in the contest
Joan

I'm not sure why the contest creator called it 'alliteration' rather than acrostic. I followed the rules as per the contest page. I don't see how one can have alliteration going through the alphabet letter by letter. So, yes, there's a mix up in there somewhere. Lol. But as far as following the rules of the contest, I complied. Thank you for the review and stars, Joan.

Hi there, anonymous writer. This is such a visual poem and very apt for the contest. I enjoyed it very much and could visualise her dancing. The best of luck in the contest. Ulla:)))

Comment from LyndaS
Beautiful presentation. This looked like a fun contest until I was trying to tie only about eight words together. Not as easy as you make it look. You weave a wonderful story as you danced throughout our alphabet. Well done.
