NaPoWriMo: Day 1

First of April

Is it an April Fool's gag to do a full composition and omit a particular orthographic symbol?
I think this is a thrilling proposal.

How long can I go missing such a symbol? A paragraph?
Artificially limiting my wordplay ruins all rhythm though, am I making a fault?

Or will it bury all truth that I am not a valid wordsmith? A fraud.
Constraints to my wording is a limitation I may not surmount.

Can I do it?
Or in fact, should I do all my compositions this lunar orbit in such a fashion such as missing an "A" tomorrow?

Should I just post yarns about robots?
That's my kind of thing, robots.

It's odd, writing your thoughts in a particular way,
submitting to an unfamiliar form of communication.

I'm having thoughts as to why I did it,
Author's block is my justification I think.

  1. Ha! Brilliant. And in fine tradition. How about you work up (down?) to univocalism by the end of the month?
