25 Letters

The moment I applied to join Project 365, I knew it was going to be a great experience. Prompts and topics are what every writer or blogger fails to get at one time at least, and I was going to get it all in a silver platter, along with the ways to promote my blog and all the things a blogger desires.

After seeing my English scores of my board exams, my principal, and English teacher, went on to say that I am a bit too exploratory when it comes to choosing a topic and I love taking the risk factor to a new high each time I sit to write. I think this logic applies to every post I write, and so here I am! I have taken on the challenge to not bring into play a letter of the English alphabet, and for challenge, I have chosen a vowel!

A letter is all

It takes to make,

A word, a sentence,

And a paragraph namesake.

Chemistry I like,

Especially the atom,

So small yet so important,

That is hard to fathom.

Atoms of English,

Are these twenty six,

Polymers they make,

And words they fix.

I skip twenty one,

So I miss seventeen too,

Inseparable these two are,

So there’s nothing I can do.

Five vowels there are,

With the rest- consonants,

Less they may seem,

Yet they are the necessary components.

Words infinite made,

From this little pack,

Add many together,

And there’s a complete paperback.

A for apple,

And B for ball,

That’s how we begin,

It’s not directly the book stall.

This comes at three,

And goes on forever,

Eternal this learning is,

As English and its words end never.

Now I’m tired,

And I can’t go on,

Yet I have to,

To complete this weird song.

I yearn for thy presence now,

Before which I never did,

Realization hits me now,

As thee have now hid.

Come back oh dear,

I can’t take it no more,

I will respect thee now,

As I now have this lore.

I’m ending it here,

With some mild advice,

Don’t ever skip a vowel,

It won’t feel nice.

Now, I can’t go on. I’m dead certain of that, and here’s where this tiny poem comes to an end. When I read the topic, I had the feeling that it won’t be that tricky, and now I feel that I was wrong then.

In the challenge to skip one letter, I managed to skip two others as well, and that is something I had not considered. The challenge asks me to skip only one letter, and that’s what the title says as well. After doing all this hard work, I managed to fail the prompt! I didn’t bring into play J and Q, and those are really tricky clients, aren’t they? Well, now I haven’t failed the prompt as I have these two in the sentence before this one! Yippee! :P

Well, cheating is one of my bad habits, and ignoring that fact, I want to go on to the end of this post. It’s an honor for me to write for Project 365, and yeah, that’s all.
