Dear Poet,s

Sage advice for someone going into crime. Great rhyming in this ABC rule book, for robbers and cheats it deserves a close look. Good luck with this entry it is fun, with all the letters so well done.

Warm regards,

FStorian

This is a splendid A-Z poem highlighting a life of crime. It read like Proverbs for those destined for a life of lawlessness. It was an enjoyable read...Curtis

Nice alphabet poem. I liked the artwork. I just don't see what the sense of it all is. I liked the you sentence. It was the only one that seemed to make sense.

Hmmm... maybe you didn't see what the contest was all about - sometimes they add that automatically but not this time. The challenge was to write 'rules for life' as an alphabet poem. I chose to write the rules as seen by a criminal

I like your ABCderian and think the layout is amazing. You really chose good words for this one. Did it get a little more difficult as you approached the end?

Thank you - yes, first half came easy but the last ten or so were a bit of a struggle.

What a great ABC poem! Your tips on life and how to survive it are interesting, humorous and culled from the everyday wisdom. Loved this line - " Lady Luck's an oxymoron; never trust a dame." Aha, you must be a guy!

This is a great entry for this contest. Love the line about
Xanax, I guess the mob gets anxious too. This is a creative entry that captures the viewpoint of the criminal. Excellent use of the ABC form. Best wishes for the contest.

Thanks for the nice review and generous stars. I did notice the other entries for this tended to be similar so I aimed for something different.

This was hilarious! I think this is one of the best ones yet. I loved your choice for the X. Yours fit better than all the other poems like this.

A very nice job, my friend.
