My alphabet friends
go alphabet crazy
over a,b,c—
all the way to
q,r,s
and t,u,v—
My life in the microwave
means beat up
by heat waves
while w,y,x and z
are gonna gossip
and bully me
while d and e
spin a toxic love story

Hi Rose
This is a great physical representation of the mind when it is scrambled (or assaulted) by matters of the heart.
And thanks to Dino for the best image I could find to support this!

The way you’ve used the brief free verse lines in this piece is seriously effective.
The way you’ve turned this entire swift poem into a gigantic metaphor is super effective!
The loose but also solid four-part structure of this piece also wins all the races that don’t always go to the swift.
The structure is both free and full of form (or the form is full, while free) at the same time; THAT is a mark of exceptional work! Your work has enthusiasm but enthusiasm under the reins of the writer, which is as it always should be in the best poems.
