Quote: "I shall be like a tree planted by the river" Amidst the orchard's verdant scene, I stand tall, Beneath the azure sky, I hear the river's call. Cherries ripe and red, like jewels they gleam, Delightful treasures in this picturesque dream Each blossom to cherry, a journey of sweet delight, From dawn till dusk, in the soft glow of twilight. Gentle breezes carry whispers through the air, Harmony of nature, beyond compare. "I shall be like a tree planted by the river's flow," Juicy fruits my bounty, in abundance they grow. Kindred spirits, birds of all size and hue, Lingering, feasting on cherries, fresh and true. My friends gather 'round, with glee upon their face, Noshing on cherries, a sweet embrace. Overflowing baskets, a bounty to behold, Pleasures of cherry picking, stories untold. Questing for perfection in each cherry's hue, Ripe with flavor, each one tried and true. Seasons bring bounty, no pesticides in sight, Trust the organic purity, cherries invite. Underneath the cherry tree canopy, I find solace and peace, Veiled in nature's beauty, my worries release. With each passing moment, I learn to thrive, Xenial with the world, in which I'm alive. Yearning for wisdom, like leaves in the breeze, Zealously embracing life's mysteries.

Now you've gone and totally impressed me! Sincerely! Writing a flowing and effective Abecedarian is no easy task, yet you seem to have mastered it well. I loved 'noshing on cherries.' I especially liked the mindfulness in the last two lines. Must fave...and best wishes with the contest, Sara
