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 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.
Let's eat mom. Let's eat, mom. Good grammar saves lives
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.
