curious,
       that this should wind up
            in this spot
now,
       right as harmony
            and anti-harmony
    found an hour to clash
a sky of Light
       had clouds crossing it
            just as goslings do
               all in a row
bit by bit
       prints in this ground around us
            waiting for a sign
a sign that would cry out
       cry out to mountain and plain
            to high and low
     to all who would know
              and to all who do not
so that this call would find hands
            and touch souls

joining all in a chain of round
       circling our world in dancing
                                and light
holding hands
       and walking this path
making our ways
                  known to all

Good work Sven! The only thing I'd change is the line "walking the path"--the has an E in it, maybe it could be changed to a path? Anyway nice work. I enjoyed this.

Glad to see the challenger has met the challenge well. Hey Sven, don't feel bad I did the same thing, but caught it and changed it b'fore anyone had a chance to tell me!! Well done!

Enjoy life, this is NOT a dress rehearsal.

Indeed, the best work of no "e" poetry comes from the originator of the challenge himself! Great write, Sven!!

thanks everyone. . . this was easier than I thought it would be. . . perhaps there really isn't that much to writing without "e"??

hmmmmmmmm. . . think that you could write a poem with no "i"??

that one might be a little bit tougher. . .

Sven,

I've enjoyed reading your works and the challenges for what they inspired from the others here and I look forward to more of the same.
Though, from what I have seen of the "no E's" poems and the "all E's" poems, it may be a tough act to follow.
However, since everyone here seems to enjoy a good challenge, it should be interesting at the very least.
Thanks Sven,
and those of you who so deftly answered his challenges, thus far.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this.

Damn it..Can you please just mail me your poetry when I don't have computer access, Sweet Man?

This is totally you, Sven Pen. I missed your work.
