The vowel challenge........

Just to see what you guys can make of this little test.

The vowel challenge.

I want you to write a short poem with a vowel in each line...ie:

Only the vowel A in the 1st line
E in the second line
I in the third
O in the fourth and
U in the fifth.

No other vowel in each line apart from the designated AEIOU in that order
I will add my attempt in a few days...good luck

This is my attempt

Far away man starts a war,
Relentless when he meets,
Vivid fighting in his sights,
Morn's glow, Storms blow,
Guns fly, burnt July

RE: The vowel challenge........

Here is my silly attempt -

Am an Antsy Aardvark

Am an antsy artsy aardvark
Eeps, creeps, sleeps
Insights in my nits twixt lips
Who flop, plop, drop
Lucky mug chugs gruff, ugly bugs

RE: The vowel challenge........

Wallruss a good attempt but not quite there, just yet

RE: The vowel challenge........

Kellyred, a grand attempt and it certainly made me chuckle...Thanks for the smiles.

RE: The vowel challenge........

Thank you for the challenge! It stretched my poor feeble mind and that's what's important. :D

Are we allowed to submit additional poems (in the case I come up with something less moronic)?

RE: The vowel challenge........

I don't know what it is with the bugs...

Flit

A gnat and a black fly
Flew the endless sky
Insisting in flitting
On odd ol' rot
Yummy, crumbly. Why?

RE: The vowel challenge........

A bay casts happy days
Fermented ferry be free
drift in fish, giggling gills
foghorns follow floods
sunburn unfurls

RE: The vowel challenge........

hello Rachel, certainly an odd 1 there lol

RE: The vowel challenge........

Had to try this one, just because it seemed like a fun challenge

As karma draws straws
The event never ends well
I'll still find his signs
Lost on most fools
Luck's stun-gun stung

RE: The vowel challenge........

Thanks Kelly... both of yours rocked too! I LOVED that last line in the aardvark one... HAHA!!

RE: The vowel challenge........

Flat farmland, lazy day
Beserk bee's, restless scent
Birds sing, picnic's thriving
Poppy blossoms, cotton woods
sunny fun, Dusky lump


(LOL...Incase you didn't understand my last one)

A vampire's evening is not long enough:

Evenings Too Short

Gray slats fan angry, awry
Every needy eve ends
In biting, stinging
On sod, on tombs of cold
Sunup numbs us, cry

RE: The vowel challenge........

half past mad
the empty eye sees
insights twist
lost fool drools
numb

RE: The vowel challenge........

AS DARK DRAWS NAKED
EVEN EYES ENTER
INTWINES LIGHT
ON LOST MOONS GO
UNDER US
GUNS RUN DRUGS
DRY

RE: The vowel challenge........

Fall away - talk hard and
wretched. Bend them, then rest -
It is ill, this thrill in it.
Do not go on - show off -
Stun us, cut us dull.


I found this to be very difficult!!

Diabetic's Lament

Pasty flab and pastry tarts
Sweet, sweet pee
Thin mints in tins, itching limbs
Flop onto doc’s cot
Buck up, chubby tum
