one vowel pomes
These were written in response to a challenge to write a poem using only one vowel. So I wrote a pome for each vowel. J.D.
A - Abstract art
Ask any man;
ask any arty tart
what’s art?
Ask any angry brat;
any arty bastard
what charm art casts,
and all say:
art’s all
art starts all
art has a part at any party
and abstract art
asks all
that art
can ask.
E - Remember
Remember every text
we ever sent.
Remember the
sexy texts we sent.
Resend the sexy texts
we sent then.
Send me seventy sexy texts.
Press the x key.
Depress the Send key.
Remember pressing
the x key then (seventeen exes!)
Remember pressing me then.
Remember me.
Remember.
Then press Delete.
I - Lip-Licking
I lick his lips.
His lips sing
with whisky’s kiss.
I drink his kiss;
his tipsy kiss.
His lips sting
with whisky’s hiss.
I drink his lips:
I kiss his kiss.
I kiss his lips:
I drink his kiss.
I think
this kiss is bliss.
o - Dogs
Dogs droop;
dogs drool.
Dogs growl
for storms.
Dogs know how
to roll on bogs and moss.
Dogs howl
moons down.
Dogs
do doggy dos.
Dogs won’t stop
or hold on.
Dogs long for
dogs.
Old dogs
go to God.
Own dogs:
dogs do
no wrong.
