With and Without You

With you I hold sky lovingly Without you I’m in sad glory With you I’m world book of fancy Without you I’m want of brainy I’m rain of warming touch for you In lack of you I’m burst damp too Flora and fauna both such show With you it is calm without zoo Blooming bud’s odor is roaming For your slant I’m with air flying Fountain from mountain is crying If you shun fond garland in spring Rough approbation grips my song If you don’t allow my strain strong Sanction with you for all functions If not world throws stiff omissions -January 24, 2023 Lipogram Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Emile Pinet
