I enjoyed the use of one word at a time. Each one holds it own meaning, yet flows together perfectly.
Very creative piece. I really liked it : )

I didn't even realize this was the alphabet at first. I just thought it was a beautiful collection of words strung together to speak a sliver of sad truth from the authors soul. Now that I see it's the alphabet I realize it's really quite clever as well. I do need to grab my dictionary though... xenogamy? Hmmm...

This is deep and whimsical at the same time and a clever combination of words without being A-Z. Nicely done.

The only problem I have with this is the beat of it. I'm not sure of how it's supposed to read in my head. Where to pause in it. Otherwise, excellent job of it (took me a while to figure out how xenogamy fit in it).

Simple rhythms with complex ideas unfolding upon themselves; more than clever, you managed to work in xenogamy, I'm speechless!

So talented! "stolen time undermines virtue" wonderful line! I liked the staccato effect the one word lines created. Great work here. Lydia

I'm too serious. Serious about everything, my music, my poetry, my prose. I like good reviews, but a good review is a useful review, not necessarily one that praises. Spend some time on it, rip me .. more..
