I love the topic and think this is a great poem. ABC Poem, I wonder if this will take off. I see that you've utilized all the letters in the alphabet while hitting on an important topic. Great Job!!

Thanks for your review and comments. I'm glad you picked out the missing letters. I inadvertently left out the N one, but did miss the K. I have now corrected both.
Of course, this is a freeform poem. How could it be anything else?
You are confusing this style with aebecedian style and the Other ABC formats. I am pioneering this new style which I will be asking the committee to add under the Poetry Dance section titled Alphabet Poem, as a freeform format. My opinion is that this is considerably more difficult to write single words and still convey a meaning or story, than to create Alphabet sentences, but there is room for both.
However, you are certainly correct that I don't follow existing ABC format. But I haven't submitted this as a contest entrant, but only as General Poetry.
