A Small Word Can Make Things Different
An accent can change a whole statement
A comma can alter the whole meaning
A small word can make things different
And a smile can enhance sightseeing.
An apostrophe can emphasize the beauty
Of a place, a noun, a country or a city
An atom can destroy our world, nothing
Is too teensy to destroy a life or a building.
The titanic ship

Irritable Vowel Syndrome
Emile’s set a poetry contest
in which the poet omits one vowel
It’s hard to write this exacting form
yet I will not throw in the towel!
So I’m tasked to write a poem
I’ve got myself into the groove
to try and write a brilliant ditty
and hope the sponsor will approve
I started a Shakespearian sonnet
and I grappled with the rhyme
My

Omitting a Vowel
I kept passing up that contest, realizing its difficulty.
However, sometimes I do enjoy jumping into challenges,
but this one proved to be beyond and above mere difficulty.
After jumping into 'this river of cold water poetry', I was prepared
to hop out of those rapidly-flowing currents just as easily as I jumped in.

The Missing Letter
There is a letter in the alphabet
that sits tween characters named n and p.
In writing this new jingle, I shan't let
it slip within- per stated rules, can't be.
This valued letter- surely, used each day;
a buddy, seen with a, e, i and u.
Required in writing, it can interplay
detailing many things we think and view.
Perhaps it hasn't

Please Use Consonant In a Sentence
“Please use it in a sentence.”
“We live on the Chicago consonant,” the eighth grader said, proudly.
“Do you know what a consonant is?” The teacher asked the student.
“Sure,” he said, “Like Rhode Island, right?” His classmates nodded.
The teacher sighed. Un-learning is so much tougher than learning.
On a happier note, she was grateful that she

Vowel Movement
When a writer lacks
verbs and nouns
he's the victim of
writer's block.
His mind may house
too many consonants,
too few vowels.
Without vowels,
his consonants congeal
and become a mass.
The result is
verbal constipation.
The only cure,
some doctors say,
is a very big
vowel movement,
larger than a loaf
of pumpernickel
or a Seinfeld
marble rye.
Some

The Wait In Every Vowel
A Angel, I’ve spent every waking day without you thinking about a day that
we will never be apart, a time, when these days will be but forgotten
memories. The moon will wax and wane as we draw breathes, everyday

Vowel Consonant
All the wind from east settles here
Those tender leaves of spring fear tears
Each birds' nest trembles by all moves
Moms sit on eggs strong cold wind braves
Imperative feelings she knows
To nuture from cold impose
Opens her mouth to lover
He feeds her food he discovers
Under God's hand, he is a provider
A gift from God_his nuturing
Touched by the

Vowel - Consonant
Arising to exuberant sunshine, I put on my ugly warm-ups amended for
exercise. Today I plan on moving until dusk, adapting my essence to ideal
form; offering healthy unit. Anticipation confines eagerness to impress
myself over total upset, achieving the expectations I sanction opens doors
unimpeded to a vast ego that I

Vowel- Consonant- Contest
Aboard the event train I watched over the undulating scenery ahead.
Whose eyes see into shadows ogling the unknown
What a basically exhilarating time indeed.
What other panorama undresses before admiring glances.
Evening skies in many orangey shades urges many admirers
Watching every hue interact with others made us very aware therefore,
every minute interaction could overflow senses
Unusually

Vowel-Consonant
Awaking to exceptional day, I noticed obviously gross, uncut grass,
all glaringly exhibiting growth in degrees ordinarily considered unusual.
My ambition to erase the ill look of my ugly duckling animated me.
Every bold invader was ostracized most unmercifully.
Persistently advancing, still energized, while ignoring time or thirst, unknowingly.
Pleased as grasses etherized helplessly, I rejoiced over their utter ruin.
Admiring

Brain Ageing Con Vowel
Who is that, aunt shouts out loud as she always hears a door opening.
She also never answers to anyone calling out.
Selective audible hearing i believe is the answer.
She adores life and cant abide diversions in her all seeking all knowledge events. Her aged brain already stuffed, overloaded, with useless content, is forced into remembering.
A switch in the off position, I am sure is required.
A

Happy Vowel-Entine Day
My happy, snappy Valentine
Your lips are sweet as sugar.
They are like chocolate milk,
That covers my wounded soul.
My easy, breezy Valentine,
Your caress I long to feel,
You bring warmth to my blood,
Like a fuzzy coat on a winter’s day
My frilly, silly Valentine
Your eyes I forever adore.
They are like shimmering pools,
With waves of bliss shining
