Write a free-verse vowel poem.
(Inspired by Julie Larios.)
Wicket from Word Well: YUCK (from Jett – and Miller yelled: Mama, what about sky?)
Vowel choice: sometimes Y (says Jett – what a guy. Ha. See what I did there?)
Y
They ask why not
when they
should say
hey! why not ‘y’?
like a body with her arms
wyde up
yearning for the sky…
sometimes why is all you need
sometimes y is ryght
not yucky or yacky
eye mean, why shouldn’t we
bow down to ‘y’?
always why
stay in her wydness
she is for you
without her there is only
oh u.
(doh. i realize i didn’t include the work ‘yuck’ but included ‘sky’. I’ve made an edit!)
