Notes About The Poem

For the 'Lipogram' Poetry Contest of Emile Pinet

PLEASE, IF ANYONE SPOTS LETTER A IN THIS POEM, LET ME KNOW. 

I READ IT OVER AND OVER, BUT IT'S STILL POSSIBLE THERE IS AN "A" I'M NOT SEEING!

Trying For the Ring

My sweetie, oh how I need you.
On my mind you ever linger.
Believe me. My love is so true.
One ring should be on my finger!

This ring would bring me such delight.
My sweetie, oh how I need you.
Come to me soon – this very night.
Come or I will feel very blue.

You know my desires; yes you do!
Come quickly, love, to my side.
My sweetie, oh how I need you.
You deserve some wonderful bride!

Don’t you desire me for your wife?
I do believe you need me too.
Honey, you need me in your life.
My sweetie, oh how I need you.

Congratulations Andrea! Your amazing romantic poem "Sunset", has earned you a distinguished place in my poetry contest. I was very strict, but your poem rose to the winner's circle. Very well done my friend, Emile.

Awwn this is so beautiful and so touching. Ah i want to try this challenge. Hah! I dont see any “a” in your poem .. so clever! Ive never tried lipogram. This sounds interesting and challenging to do. Would be fun. You’ve nailed it as always my beautiful soul! Goodluck for the contest

You’re not getting an ‘A’ from me for this effort Petal but it’s still a great write. Take care, Richard
