Fending freely
In fields and forests
Foraging for food
From trees and vines:
Fungi, flowers and fruits
Maybe field mice
Or frogs and fish.
Feasting at times
At others,
Frankly frugal repasts!
Formidably
Our forefathers
Fended for millennium thus!
Following food with the seasons
Frightened sometimes freezing.
Finally,
First feeble weapons were fashioned
Then fire was fabricated
Finally farms were founded
Furnishing families with food
In abundance!
But fatally
Fortifications, fratricide and fallacious fantasies
Of supposed superiority
Followed forthwith;
Filthying men’s minds,
Undermining faithful friendships,
Fomenting frustration and felons.
Fine, fine fare thee well!

wow, I am so glad I can shop a supermarket for food after reading this. Foraging sounds dangerous! I am loving these alliterative alphabetical poems 🙂 Keep ’em coming please!

Fascinated to find you can keep producing magical poem after magical poem like this. And another perfectly matched illustration–a cave painting? Lascaux? Which comes first–the illustration or the poem? Or does it vary?
Thanks for taking the trouble to visit me. Greatly appreciated.

That definitely works and is very effective. Nice job integrating F words into a fascinating verse.
