“ABC's of Destruction”
Armies Battle Constantly
Defending Earthen Fortresses
Growing Hoards Invite Jealousies
Killing Limits Mankind
Not One Politician Questions Reason
Strident Terror Unleashes Victory
With Xenophobic Youthful Zest

    I absolutely loved reading your poem "ABC's of Destruction"! Your use of each letter to create a dark and powerful message about war and conflict was incredibly creative and effective. You truly have a talent for poetry and I can't wait to read more from you.

    One suggestion for improvement that I have would be to perhaps incorporate a more hopeful message toward the end of your poem. While the darkness and destruction you describe is important to acknowledge, it would be great to see a glimmer of hope or a call to action for positivity and peace.

    Overall, your poem was incredibly well-written and impactful. You should be proud of your talent and I can't wait to see where it takes you in the future!
