NPM 2025 - Poem 3

For National Poetry Month this year, I am writing poems in uncommon, unusual, or inventive poetic forms. The only rule I have set for myself is that I choose forms I am unfamiliar with. Here are some of the resources I am referencing. 

• 20+ Different (& Wild!) Poetry Forms for Inspiration
• A Strange Poetry
• Refrigerator, Blackout, And Other Radical Poetry Forms
• Experimental Poetry Forms
• 20 Fun Poem Types (You've Probably Never Heard Of)

Today's poem is a lipogram poem.
A lipogram poem is a poem that intentionally omits one or more letters of the alphabet. For this poem, I excluded the letters A and E.
