While looking at some information about anagrams on wikipedia I came across an article about univocalic poetry. Basically it is a poem with a single vowel. Needless to say the alliteration is amazing on these things. So I decided to try my hand at one of these things. I am pleased with how it turned out actually. Still needs some work, but it is hard with constraints like these. This is the product of three attempts at writing one of these poems. I kept getting maybe one stanza and then having to start over again. This one worked out for me, and turned out a lot more sexual then I am used to writing so I suppose that it an interesting step. Either way here is my newest poem.
Thirst
This chick is
whirling
twirling
with whirlwind
trills.
Glimpsing
lips
licking,
in this
dig.
I wish
with nibbling
misgivings-
pricking
in mind.
Grinning
singing
winking,
dripping with
sin.
Crisp
twilight
flirting
with
wings.
Inviting
virgin
skin
in this
night.
Wild
lightning,
sizzling-
tickling-
twitch.

interesting that your poem is univocalic -- it's much better than most modern "junkyard" poetry out there. maybe having a form or a constraint really does help an artist. good job
