Notes About The Poem

Lipogram Poetry Contest Sponsored by Emile Pinet 10/25/23

Words - Lipogram Poetry Contest

To write poems missing one vowel I'm struggling, you should see me scowl Nice sponsor Emile Won't know how I feel I’m tempted to throw in the towel! I thought writing this would be fun Though Emile’s contest I won’t shun My words will not flow Bonce is being slow My muse whispers why don’t you run! I’m sitting here on my blue stool I’ve finished my poem, it’s cool Now I must check my work From this job I won't shirk By following Emile’s vowel rule!

Limey, rhymey, Jan! Interesting set of deliveries in the challenging Lipogram form. My plate here taxes me from entering, yet you've made an effortless entry and an honorable placement in Emile's contest! Cheers, my friend! Aloha, William

Wow you did it, and seems smooth enough. I'd give it an A, but it's not allowed, lol.
