Lipogrammatic Damnation

What is a lipogrammatic composition you ask?

 

It’s not a typical quatrain task,

 

Words so tough to say,

without that basic symbol in play,

 

Linguistic cunning I must work,

 

To omit this standard quirk,

 

This sign that mimics a sound of “G”

 

I must abandon its utility,

 

This is not a natural thing to do,

 

Ignoring this common mark or two,

 

Humor I, this plain soliloquy,

 

I’m simply articulating my individuality,

 

My words I award to you,

 

I only wish it’s charming too,

 

To you I hold much affinity,

 

In unison, our souls cry out symphony
