26 Letters

A Poem by Andrew Hawkins

26 Letters

26 letters, some I never use
is all i have to demonstrate
my melancholy news
combined in different orders
changing pace and changing tone
I try to tell the sadness
of being here alone
I build in different tempo's
no repetition or refrain
outside the fact that once again
my tears fall like rain
26 letters, some I never use
will go back into their box
until I get just one from you

When you put it like that, it does seem quite amazing what we can achieve with just 26 of the things!
