Sonnet
Fourteen lines 10 syllables per line with a typical... abab cdcd efef gg rhyming scheme.

Lipogram
A lipogram is a composition from which the writer systematically omits a certain letter or certain letters of the alphabet.

Sol slowly sinks into the pitch of night, while cricket chirps join bellowing bullfrogs. The setting sun colors the edge of light while woodpeckers drum on old hollow logs. Ebony cushions the whole universe, encrusted with billions of glittering gems. Crimson-colored clouds quickly disperse, while wildflowers slump, sleeping on their stems. Splendiferous silhouettes soon conjoin, flowing into liquid pools of twilight. The moon mimes the sun, two sides of one coin, golden disks fueling life with their light. Tethered to life's imperceptible string through God, we're connected to everything. (Sonnet/ Lipogram No Letter "A") 07/29/2020

Emile, your mastery of poetry is breathtaking. The technical challenges of combining the constraints of a lipogram and sonnet seem formidable, yet you make it appear effortless. And the poetry you weave of sun and moon, not to mention your alliterations. I just love the line "Ebony cushions the whole universe". A Fave for me for this stunningly beautiful writing, my friend ~ John
