Pick your favorite vowel, and write a ten line poem in which every word uses that vowel. It doesn‘t have to begin with that #vowel, or even use it prominently (i.e. get its main “sound” from the vowel). It just has to be in the word.

“In February 1945, over 800 black women from the United States joined the U.S. Army and were sent to England to clear the three-year backlog of undelivered mail. Faced with racism and sexism from every direction, they managed to sort more than 17 million pieces of mail.”
Just finished watching Tyler Perry‘s movie - I recommend! Have tissues ready❤️ So good. There‘s also a documentary. Here‘s a #Toast🥂 to these courageous women. #25Alive
