Up upon upraised immunity,
you urge us, “support surrender!”
underlining our unhappiness, frustration,
undermining our unity.

Our journey unravels your exclusion

uprooting supremacy.

“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.
A poem — E poem — I poem — O poem — U poem
