Character

A poet's pen has piercing Is
to penetrate the best disguise
and sometimes it's abuzz with Bs
that pollinate the fruitful trees,
judicious use of yearning Ys
can help explain the compromise
while conquest of uncharted Cs
may broaden what a seeker sees.

  7. The pronunciation of the letters give this poem a playful tone, yet it is very serious. Really nice word play!

  9. cleverly done with wordplay….er, character play.
    I like the metonymy used with ''Is'' (eyes), Bs (bees), Ys (whys), and Cs (sees)…cool.
