to be able to come up with ideas that work together the way yours do, for every letter in the alphabet takes talent, and clever thinking! this is an easy, fun read with with a great flow. There are so many points you make that ring true, it'd take too long to point them all out. BUT, 'honesty, honesty, honesty,' very important in life. Also, 'learn to listen; pet dogs a must; remember, no one is better than you are; xercise (pretty sneaking...LOL...so no one calls you out you might do 'xercise)...just a thought! the only one i wonder about is 'vacation separately? No way,' ....LOL!!! sorry couldn't resist. Anyhow, poet, this is a great contest entry! best wishes! deb

Thank you deb for the generous rating. I'm honored that you thought so highly of this. They don't always work on a daily basis, but in ALL my years I felt this was a good/cool compilation. Again, thanks for your time and generosity...

Comment from Hollyhock
Great contest entry.
Really good advice to live by, except for the bias towards the Yankees.
Particularly liked Q,R,S and T, these could probably do it, all by themselves!
Good luck in the contest.

Well, I believe sports plays an integral part of ones development. Following a team or player comes with the turf. I'm glad you stopped to read and appreciate your commentary , thank you!!
-
I was only "pulling your leg", I agree with you and am just as biased over my beloved Liverpool F.C.
-
What is, what sport is Liverpool F.C.? Soccer?
-
Oh yes, the ONLY sport!LOL.
Liverpool Football Club, the red half of Merseyside!
Comment from cce29
Great poem, prose. Yu followed the prompt well. I like where you went with this ABC prompt, much different than most. Yur poem flows very well. Although the making of this poem is of what you've learned or taking in over the last 57 years, it sounds like you learned a lot of great things to live by. I wish you luck in the contest and look forward to reading more of your work. Great piece!

Comment from adewpearl
You follow alphabetical order well without forcing lines just to meet that requirement
Your words of advice are thoughtful and wise
I agree wholeheartedly
with so many lines like to volunteer and kick bad habits
I have to respectfully disagree about the Yankees, but I admire anyone who supports his own team Go, Phillies! LOL

Comment from missy98writer
Poet,
Your Abecediran acrostic poem is excellently written with rich imagery.
You used great metaphors.
You uses very good alliteration.
I enjoyed your lines:
Dream your dreams till they become reality
Enjoy the laughter of your children
Fear can be conquered
Greatness is within you
Honesty, honesty, honesty
Invest wisely and not with greed
I'd recomend your thought pondering poem to other reviewers.
I wish you good luck in the contest.
Missy.
