All that goes on in speech is included in O.
Affectation is entrusted to I.
W forms the tracks left behind by a crow.
C is the uprighted half of a despot’s eye.
V is a vortex to be avoided.
A peripatetic’s PM shadow is L.
X is the cipher through which meaning is voided.
H is quite simply an arch over hell.
Y’s upstretched arms are emblematic of virtue.
P is a minor prelate removing his stole.
Q is a snake whose rattle can’t hurt you
and K is a striker kicking wide of the goal.
G is the hidden lair of an underground troll
and S the cornucopia of wealth.
This poem is merely a calligram of itself.
