Notes About The Poem

This is a poem answering this contest prompt- you may not use any of the letters in these two words - HOCUS POCUS  I have now eliminated the 0's and the h - thank you Hank!

Not Hocus Pocus

Eerily eager evil enigma elevated eleven renaming egg land.

Meager minis liked their initial idea eggplant ready.

Beefily blatantly weird in a diddly extra wiggly way.

I was ready, reved, relieved and willing my elevated eight.

black anklet twelve will enter evil eggland

So you just try to avoid using those letters, or then try a specific topic? Interesting, haven't run across one of those before...

You never know what a contest will ask you to try and do.

Caren, you've got about four o's in there! This type of poem is so hard to write.

Thank you Hank for catching that. I checked it twice and never saw them. Back to the drawing board.
