An island off the east coast,
Beside the yawning blue sky,
Constant love jumps from tree to tree,
Dances in the caves and
Floats amongst the island’s chain.

I'm no expert on poetry, but this was short and sweet. I saw no spelling errors. If it was just a little longer, it would be great.

I especially liked the line, 'Constant love jumps from tree to tree.'

I don't think I've ever seen an ABC poem on here. And I didn't know you could write one with just A-D. I loved it! Simple and sweet with so much beauty. There's so much imagery.

The only line I would like to point out is the second to last:
Dances in the caves and,
Floats amongst the island’s chain.

The comma after the and was quite unnecessary and it made the poem pause a weird place. But other than that the poem flowed beautifully.

There's something to be said for short poems, but I think it might be a little too short, it feels like it's a part of a longer poem. Excellent word choice, great imagery. Nice poem.
