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.
And per se: the word.
An ampersand is a cursive form of the Latin word "et" which means "and."
Lovely! You invented a letter:)
