Soft, subtle whispers of conscience within They burn, upturn, compelling doublethink Redeem hermit, soul from possible sin Senses five immerse us in outer din Severing thus from God, our divine link Soft, subtle whispers of conscience within Child’s soul innocent, feels pricking of pin Those who listen, glisten, whilst others sink Redeem hermit, soul from possible sin Presence imbibes bliss from pores of our skin Love lotus blooms, luminescence bright pink Soft, subtle whispers of conscience within Nip ego desire before it begins Heed truth hues etched in indelible ink Redeem hermit, soul from possible sin Divine restores light of our origin The doing we do is mind with love sync Soft, subtle whispers of conscience within Redeem hermit, soul from possible sin 01-June-2021 Lipogram Poem Poetry Contest Sponsor: Emile Pinet Vowel omitted ‘a’

Truth lies bleeding in the street, "I can't breathe" the repeat, Nowhere to run with these feet, Get out of the kitchen if you can't take the heat. Great poem Seeker.

Oh how I loved your villanelle, Unseeking Seeker, and to write it without using the letter "a" was masterful. Best wishes in the contest.

Well composed villanelle. And I agree with the dictates of our conscience. Which seems lacking in most people these days.
