A lipogram poem for "The Whatever Contest." Never use the letter "e." Quite tricky.
my body is still
my mind is in flight
I build my will
a push to fight

a dark light is raging
a dark shadow is cast
I can't outrun it by aging
it follows in my past

its attack is slow
wind rolling across grain
but I stand fast, aglow
built up as spring rain


PROMPT:

You choose the topic, but...

Write a lipogram poem. A lipogram is a writing that doesn't contain a certain letter or letters. Your poem cannot contain the letter E anywhere (except in this part, which you are to post in your item).

Written for "The Whatever Contest." *Right* "The Whatever Contest -- Closed for Now" Open in new Window.
