Hi Brett,

I read through your contest entry. I was a little confused because based on what the contest rules said, you should have started one of the lines with the letter X,... be it if it was ABC or an Acrostic. So because of that I went with a lower rating.

But personification of the letter X, who is feeling left out, and showing anger and violence, that's a cute spin... maybe if you can keep that spin, but change the beginning words so that one of them start with the letter X? Then you would be within the contest requirements, and still have the cute spin of make X be angry for being left out?

Thanks for your comments and support. Last line now starts with "X" as in Xerox.

Your poem brought a smile to my face. I felt for the underused, misunderstood "x". I agree kill them all. Take back what is rightfully yours. Great job

You give X quite a nerve-chilling personality. I wonder what O would think? On top of that it even rhymes. Didn't catch that at first. X has been used negatively since who knows when. Very creative and wonderfully written. Les

The Insane X
by Brett Matthew West

LoL.... The Insane is a great little poem about the letter X. You have given a complete character of a mean and dangerous letter. Well done!

I'm exhausted exhaling oxygen (is that an oxymoron) in excited exclamations exactly as you axed me to. Two more xs (there's one) will total X (in Roman numerals. Never got that many in a review before/ Just keep pointing that machine gun down the range please. Would have liked to give you xxxxxx but haven't got any left so can only give you xxxxx.

I like this ABC X poem It is done well. This is a rough punishment for us "X"-less folks. I will try to use it more , I promise, but not in excess. Good job

The letter X unleashes its fury! This is a great contest entry. We can X-pect all hell to break out if we ignore him. X-tra care must be taken to see that he's included, or suffer the consequences! X-cellent rhyme and flow in this. You have to admire X's attitude! judi
