Alphanature

I see a blackish V
held so high,
but where's the other twenty-five?
I hear the buzzing B
as I sigh...
Yet another letter surprise!

In the woods you'll hear J
alluring,
in the midst of spring right on Q!
I toss this world away,
creating
Alphanature from A to U.

I long to harpoon love
on wild C's,
drinking sailor's T; distant stars.
Finding beauty out of
little things
is just the way we poets R!

Oooh! I loved this! Something tells me you'll definitely be in the winners circle for this one! The way you twisted it was quite genius actually. Nice!

It was definitely a fun piece to write. I'm just thankful English had so many available puns at my disposal, as far as the alphabet is concerned.
