Poem: Serious Nonsense


The prompt for today's poem just about drove me crazy: Try a poem in the style called “prisoner’s constraint” – where there are no ascending or descending letters ( = b, f, g, h, j, k, l, p, q, t, y). Some querying on Google helped me out. I started by creating words out of the letters that weren't ascending or descending and then hobbled them together in the following.

Serious Nonsense

Rumors roam
I moan
Rice is nice for mice
Serious vice

Use a mirror or
Race to see
War is over
Canoe see me?

Exercise care
Razor man
Snore no more
Is zero a score?

Win an ace or a vase
Reason or season
Wow a cow
Come on in swim.
