My Lipogram

A poem which does not contain the letter ‘e’


This Lipogram bans

Which may sound absurd,

But find it you’ll not,

It occurs in no word.

As a grain lost in sand

Or a pin hid in hay,

Spy it you won’t

Though you labour all day;

Look as long as you will

But this you’ll not spot

In hiding it stays,

On display it is not.

So study this stanza

And try as you might,

Your hunt cannot show

What is not within sight.
