So for the challenge I want you to:

  1. Select a title of one word containing not more than 3 vowels and 4 consonants.
  2. Try to find as many words that are using only the letter in the title
  3. Combine this into a poem of your own
  4. Do not use any punctuation in the poem

 This was fun since it is a poetry prompt, I decided on Poetic as my title.

  2. Well! What an appropriate choice of word and with one less consonant than the rules allow, what a fist you have made from it! - Epic poet...

    1. Thank you, I decided to use 3 vowels and 3 consonants. It seemed to work but and extra letter might make it easier.

  3. I do love the inclusion of ice pic which to me immediately pulled me into sinister thoughts like Basic Instinct.

  4. An apt choice of word, Truedessa. I love the allusion to Poe and the internal rhyme of ‘optic topic’!

  13. I love "optic topic" because it illustrates how you get visions in your head when you read Poe.
