The Vowel Challenge

 

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 ..............
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 cry, burnt July

    In free verse not so hard but with rhyme that will require some time. A great challenge and should be a contest.

      I saw this a few years ago and took me a couple of days to come up with my response

      Firstly an enjoyable read, secondly that is some challange, I echo sorens view, in rhyme that could take time, nicely done

          Your challenge reshapes language, balancing structure and expression. It sharpens wordplay while preserving meaning, crafting a rhythmic dance between phonetics and poetry.🙏🏻🕊️

                Well I work as an Executive Head Chef consultant in London, so just a little time on here each day relaxes the tension
