The sum of our parts in A minor
Many parts shall chart a lady and a man, an array, as many as arms shant grab and catch; ways as many as stars and sand that scats athwart a faraway
cay.
Slants that mark all flanks, ways as grand as pagan laws. And as always, all ways fall, a law that blankly adapts, brands and traps, a palsy’ wards man’s many parts. An alarm shall blast: stay scant, stash all parts, bypass stars
and stay small, past skyward and grand parkways.
Frankly, stay as small as an ‘A’ scrawl.
(Univocalic poem using only the vowel A)
