Constrained Writing

Hello,

I start of my blogging by posting the only poem I have composed so far.

This is a part of Constrained writing, where the creator is subject to one or more constraints.

More about this could be found at

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constrained_writing

Here goes the poem. This is a ten line poem making use of only ten letters
A,D,E,H,I,L,R,S,T and Y.

Sally, a tall lady, steals trees.
She sells these trees at her street.
Trees die there daily.
Sally rarely sees earth's tears as these trees die.
Days later, all trees are dead.
Sally rarely sells trees these days.
She is thirsty. Still all she sees is
Sea, Sea, Sea.
Silly Sally realises that trees are earth's hearts.
These days Sally leads rallies.
She sees that less trees are dead.

I would like to have your views on this.

Without wax,
Vikram.S.T

Hi Vikram,
The poem is good.. I am hearing about the constrained writing for the first time. Looks very interesting. The theme of the poem is great. You never cease to throw surprises at me. Looking forward to more regular blogging from you.
