This poem is the result of a challenge proposed to the poetry group on the Mental Octagon . The challenge: to write a poem without using words that contained the letter ‘e’, the poem’s length: between 50-100 words. This sounded easy until I tried writing it. Originally, I shot for the 100 word mark, but then settled with 50 words–yes, I counted 
. The results of the challenge is posted below. The lesson here: Always be willing to give it a shot. Thanks Nancy!’
In finding words
to simplify a lull
of words to idiom
pity I cannot abstain
without authority
accounts that simplify
my words lack of citations
unbound idioms–such
a harsh fruit of labor
so I, willing participant
will war with words
that fail to
carryout a lullaby
for companion,
folk or foul bird
