Christian Bok, in his book of poetry, Eunoia, dedicates a section of his long poem to each vowel. In each segment, Bok uses only that vowel, as in the example below. For today's writing exercise, write a poem in which you use only one vowel.

Yikes, that looks tough!
This is the best I came up with in about twenty minutes. Not going to win any prizes–but it’s great practice!
Mad Jack, candy at hand,
saw a rat and ran.
A fast fall, and a dark cat–
a fat pal–ran past.
What a crazy challenge! It’s sort of funny when the speaker says, “Christ, this ship is sinking.” Thanks for sharing this one.
If you try it, let me know how it goes!
