And here we are again, kids! OK, well, I've not heard much from a lot of people, but I'm plugging on, with the realization that either a) nobody likes poetry, b) nobody cares to create it, and therefore thinks they don't understand it, c) too many lit teachers told you to read everything one line at a time, aloud in class, thereby spoiling what could have been the love of it into unabashed hatred, or d) I really suck at this, and nobody wants to tell me.
I'm praying there is no e) all of the above.
Regardless, I press on!!!!!!!
There's no "_"
Team.
A letter unseen, but oft spoken.
My word.
Thrown about casually, no one understands the grace,
the love, the need, the pressure, the joyful exhuberance.
What do we know about that?
No one has the answer,
and, even though we concentrate most on that unseen alphabet-dweller,
nowhere will he appear.
He has been lost.
OK, enigmatic at best, possibly confusing. Most who bother to read this will probably get it right off the bat, but really, this is just me being VERY silly. I don't claim this is good - in fact, I think it's kind of odd and haphazard, but I hope it leaves everyone with a smile. Just don't think too deeply. It doesn't go deep at all.
Thanks for reading.

LOL - Nice one! A great little poetry experiment, given in light of your comments from your post a few days prior. Thank you for trying it, for not trying to do it with the letter "e" or making it longer than it needed to be. It's fun to try these as a writer, sometimes just to see if you can. As a reader, it's fun to see you writing with your tongue stapled to the inside of your cheek.
