The Fourth Drawer On The Left
In that all-embracing darkness of the old jazz club’s basement, the thick smoke of bourbon fumes used to mingle with the echoes of the brilliant songs. There, also stood a chest of drawers, with its beautiful mahogany surface weathered by the passing years. The fourth drawer on the left remains still, but in each one of them is the story of how the music emerged.

Poemosaurus Rex Challenge Winners
Hard to conceive, now, how extraordinary it would have been to find the bones of those terrible lizards in the earth — in a time before humans had conceived of anything other than a Great Chain of Being, a static creation. Yet long after Darwin they still have a hold over us, these creatures which are the ancestors of sparrows and seagulls. All hail the dinosaur! They are at once real and mythic, objects of science and objects of wonder, exhibitions in museums and children’s toys. No wonder Vocal Creators responded with such a variety of work to our Poemosaurus prompt.

Love the unique take on this challenge! Gotta be the “Huff. (Exclamation - a sigh)” for me haha. Good luck with your entry:)
Such an interesting take on the Abecedarian challenge! Very creative. If you get the chance to check my submission out I would greatly appreciate it!
This is so creative!! I love the sounds. Such an outside of the box kind of poem. I like!
You are nuts. The best kind of people! Please do an audio or video of this abecedarian and post it back here. 😆 Thanks in advance!!
Awesome Abecedarian poem!!! Creative & loved it!!!❤️❤️💕
Hahahahahhahaha ngl, I was waiting for a fart sound! How come you didn't include that? Oh wait, maybe you can make an Abecedarian full of fart sound's from A to Z. Imagine the judges' reactions reading that! Hahahahahahahaha!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I enjoyed this so much! It was a creative concept! My favourite was the Xray, sound!
creative!!
I feel like I want the illustrated version of this made for kids.
Ha! This is fab! Read it and could literally hear the sounds in my head. Very clever!
That was fun, and like Paul said, I too can sound like most of those in the morning.
What a creative, unique take to the ABCs!
Now, this was a fun tangent on the style! Well done, H! Side note: My mind must be having one of its twisted mornings, because it thought "Plop, plop, plop" might be the other end of the horse. Sorry...
This is so clever and funny! Brilliant! 🤍 Think it would works so well spoken with sound effects also!
Ziiiiiip (this poem darting into 1st Place)
You absolute nutter, lol. I wanted to suffix this poem with "What's that sound? Paul trying to get up in the morning" all 26 sounds lol. Well played, miss, well played Donna!
