Necessary

There are 26 letters in the English language, and we need every single one of them. Want proof? Choose a letter and write a blog post without using it. (Feeling really brave? Make it a vowel!)

Today I have written my first concrete poem. It was a challenge to get started but worked in the end. I think the title of the poem speaks for itself. Without the letter the title of this blog is Inspriring Ax—to easy to be wrongly used and interpreted.

 

One day                                                   there was a

letter of the                                         alphabet that

could not be                                  spoken. She was

special. Living                                     in the centre.

Lots of                       words                               were

never                           able                                to be

re                                  cog                                nised

with                                                                       out

her.                                                                     After

all                                                                       adult

lady                                                                   of the

group                                                             doesn’t

sound                                                                 okay.

  1. A perfect M, I think you’ve managed to create your own font. I used photoshop to get the editing right when I tried a concrete poem, so really impressed when someone can do it with the wordpress editor alone. Atriarch, I discovered, is a four piece band who engage in sonic ritual. You might have discovered a means to add to the English lexicon.
    P.S. Thanks for the Versatile Blogger nomination below.
