NaPoWriMo--DAY TWENTY THREE

NaPoWriMo PROMPT: Write a poem about a particular letter of the alphabet, or perhaps, the letters that form a short word.

The Twenty-Seventh Letter 

She follows after Z. 

Most agree she is a character,

And a bit eccentric, 

But she knows how to make connections.  

When she’s Roman 

And Italic--she‘s curvaceous.

 Sometimes she’s relaxed,

 Sometimes extra curvy.

Almost always dynamic.

Occasionally traditional,

 Or peculiar.

 Palatino Italic

Or, one of my favorites, 

A true classic.

But don’t call her a dingbat. 

Dingbats are just ornamental.

By herself she is
And per se: the word.

An ampersand is a cursive form of the Latin word "et" which means "and."
