Ants carrying fragments:
— meat,
— — marmalade toast
— — — chocolate croissants
— — grapes
— smashed orange beverage
away towards an ant abode
Airplanes overhead, a clear gaze towards space
— aliens anxiously asking…
— — are all earthlings always relaxed and eating?
A poem — E poem — I poem — O poem — U poem
Thank you to Matthew Rohrer from #PoetryInVoice for this prompt!
“The Vowel Poem”
What’s your favorite vowel? Mine’s E. Pick your favorite vowel, and write a ten line poem in which every word uses that vowel. It doesn’t have to begin with that vowel, or even use it prominently (i.e. get it’s main “sound” from the vowel). It just has to be in the word.
