Comment from Debbie Pope
This poem certainly fulfills the description of the ABC poem contest. It has the letter requirement, and it displays personal feeling. It has an interesting flow with the internal rhymes and internal punctuation. Having a period in the middle of a line makes the thoughts more real to me.

Thanks for your review feedback Debbie.
Comment from Jesse James Doty
Wow, I read this not even noticing that it was an ABC poem. It was engaging and romantic and all the things necessary for a great poem.
The flow was smooth and the rhymes worked well. The picture suits the piece and I bet you took it yourself, am I right?
Thanks for sharing this well-written poem.

Comment from Mary Vigasin
You capture that wonderment and excitement of that first "love." Cleverly written in the way you used the ABC requirement by rules, but also you avoided using the natural tendency to go off the top of the alphabet.
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Pantygynt
In addition to the alphabetical element required by this contest, you have worked internal rhyme into the first four lines of your poem and alliteration on the 'W' into the the last line. Clever poetry.

Comment from Michele Harber
Nicely done ABC poem. You do an excellent job of "wrapping" your lines so they keep a certain rhythm, while allowing you to start the next line with the proper letter. Your mid-line rhymes are an excellent and differentiating touch.

Thanks for your comments. Is that wrapping called 'enjambment'?
-
They're similar. Wrapping is visual. It literally just means that the line or sentence wraps around from one line to the next on the page. Wrapping is an automatic feature of word processors, and one that you did manually to suit your poem.

Very nice! Delicate and romantic, you've caught that young love perfectly (I must be a bit old too remember!) There's a sense of light, and anticipation and joy. Best wishes for your entry!

I'm too long in the tooth to remember also. I had to rely on imagination.
Comment from royowen
The best thing I can remember I can remember about young love, was the sheer heaviness of it, it was the next best thing to the purity of being touched by God, beautifully written, good luck, blessings, Roy

Heaviness? Must be different for guys - it made me skip about lightly.
-
I really meant headiness, my interpretive text thought different Jenny,
-
Oh yes - that makes all the difference, not heavy at all.

Yep
Comment from Whitewave
Lisa,
This is a clever use of the ABC format and just the right picture for shy young love, holding hands while walking through the park. Your verse, indeed, seems to whisper words of wonderment.
